DOG//GOD Parables

About the Book

Have you watched in awe as dogs performed amazing feats in dog events on TV? Do you wonder, "Why can't my dog listen to me like that? How do those people get their dogs to respond so quickly and accurately?" Margie Clutter has trained and competed with her dogs in obedience, agility, herding and flyball. Her Border Collie, Winthrop Ysabel (Belle), has earned the Border Collie Society of America Versatility Award. Margie writes with an insider's look at the relationship between dogs in competition and their owners, offering training tips for you to improve your relationship with your dog. But she doesn't stop there. Oftentimes we respond to God in the same way our dogs respond to us-confused, distracted, or downright disobedient! Can we learn about obedience, teamwork and relationship with God by observing our dogs? Margie's strong Christian faith has given her a unique perspective on the relationship between dog and handler, human and God. The result is this collection of practical, Scriptural modern-day parables for spiritual growth in your relationship with God. "I fell in love with this fascinating book after reading the first few chapters a great resource!" Dr. Stephen Schwambach, pastor, author
