Before reading this book I wasn't familiar with James Robison or his Life Outreach International ministry. Frankly, I've always been leery of televangelists. There's something about the way they ask for money that I find unsavory.
However, I do have a heart for our furry friends, so I recently read Robison's book, God of All Creation: Life Lessons from Pets and Wildlife.
The hardcover book with 28, easy-to-read meditations has a lot going for it. Animals for one. Deb Hoeffner's charming, black-and-white pencil illustrations for another. Third, it offers an easy presentation of Scripture told through the quirks and habits of animals. It's also a nice size; easy to hold while sipping coffee.
Within its 160 pages, Robinson shares insights about God and Christian living that he learned while observing his own pets and animals.
If you're looking for a gift for an animal lover, or maybe for someone who is reluctant to crack open a Bible, these Scripture-laced stories are a good bet. In three words: easy, encouraging, thoughtful. And nowhere did the author ask for a donation.

Three Great Novels in One Edition
Karen Kingsbury is a favorite author of mine. She writes truly life-changing inspirational fiction. You can't beat getting three of her novels in one edition.
Where Yesterday Lives
Ellen returns to her childhood home after her father's death. She tries to make peace with people and events from her past. Ellen has no idea what God has in store for her.
When Joy Came to Stay
Maggie and her family are on an uncertain journey with depression and all that comes with it. Faith in God will see them through. Having lived with clinical depression my whole life, this one really hit home.
On Every Side
Faith is a young woman who must make a stand for the truth of God in our uncertain world.
I highly recommend purchasing this nicely-priced book.
