Three talented writers and dog masters share wisdom gleaned while walking through life alongside four paws. Through dog tales and human stories, this pack of short, enjoyable devotions focuses on spiritual lessons, including:

who we are on the inside matters
rebellion blocks blessings
boundaries are for our own good
using our talents glorifies God
if we always bark, we won't hear our instructions

Pet lovers will find encouragement and guidance for their own life through invitations to reflect on the love, companionship, and insight dogs give to those who love them.

From the Author:

"Four Paws from Heaven is a celebration of the wonder and wisdom of our Creator. I am awed at how God layers pictures of His truths throughout His creation. My dogs are one way the Lord speaks to my heart to reveal new truths and remind me of old truths in exciting new ways. I pray our stories will touch our readers and show them more of God’s love for them." —M.R. Wells, co–author of Four Paws from Heaven

"If you have eyes to see and ears to hear, many of the answers to life’s greatest questions can be found in your own backyard. This book was inspired by watching and listening to my dog, Gracie, who simply, by being her natural God–created self, taught me great and unsearchable things I did not know." —Kris Young, co–author of Four Paws from Heaven

"Our dogs are treasured gifts from our Creator. Having them in our lives is a wonderful resource for character. Through them we can learn about devotion, obedience, unconditional love, peace and a host of other wonderful qualities. If you love dogs, I’m sure you’ll enjoy our stories." —Connie Fleishauer, co–author of Four Paws from Heaven
