Here are a pair of books from Abingdon Press Author Jim Kraus. Summit Book Reviews gets many offers from publishers in exchange
for honest reviews and passes on most of them. These titles intrigued me and I was curious. How can you
write about a talking dog or cat and make it work? Believe it or not, it does!
THE DOG THAT
TALKED TO GOD
The cover says you will be charmed by this story and I was.
I didn’t want to put it down. If you think a dog talking to God and to his
mistress is silly, then you don’t have to believe that he did. It’s possible
that all the brief conversations took place in the heroine’s mind. Or not.
Jim Kraus creates an emotionally charged story of Mary
Knopf, a woman who has lost both her husband and her only child in an auto
accident. Angry over the pain she’s had to endure, she refuses to speak to God
any longer. Years later she acquires a miniature schnauzer that helps her back
onto her path toward God.
Will she ever love again, or strike out on her own away from
the sorrow and grief she’s suffered? After some futile attempts, it appears so.
This is a heartwarming story of endeavoring to carry on in spite of adversity.
If you love dogs, you’ll adore this pooch and will enjoy the human insights Mr.
Kraus provides through Rufus.
THE CAT THAT GOD
SENT
The cat’s internal dialog will keep you laughing. I particularly
like the cat’s comments about dogs.
A single man, Pastor Jake has a past to overcome, and a
present to protect. A homeless young woman takes up residence nearby, and
there’s a beautiful veterinarian who treats the new cat. She’s responsible for
naming him Petey. Will Pastor Jake settle in and be accepted? Will he find love
again after a broken engagement? Will Petey succeed in what he believes is his
mission through direction from God?
Read this novel and you’ll enjoy it, whether you’re a cat lover
or not. —Gail Lewis
