One reader said, "It's John Eldredge meets Marley and Me." That is not a bad way to describe David's new book, AND THEREBY HANGS A TALE. Due for release June 2010, this book celebrates the devoted life, and gives us glimpses of what the devoted life actually is, what it looks like, how it behaves, the possibility of attaining it, and what little work it has to be.
Using dogs as a common and playful metaphor, this book examines worship, not as an isolated event, but as a vision of life, and by a love that saturates the whole of life, to the smallest particulars. Balanced between the playful and the poignant, AND THEREBY HANGS A TALE instructs and encourages, even as it entertains, and uses our canine hosts to do both. This book employs scripture, amusing sidebars, and quotes from other sources to achieve its end. In the tradition of TO LOVE IS CHRIST (Nelson 2005), each chapter ends with an original prayer and a benediction. • Read excerpt from the book (Chapter One)• |
