For anyone who loves animals and has experienced the special bond found in our furry (sometimes feathered or scaly) friends, this book is absolutely precious. Written by Sue Hartman, this book is based on the true story of her son, Tyler, and his dog; both are having a blast in the Forever Place.
From Sue’s four children, based on scriptures (Isaiah 11:6-9 and I John 5:13) and a childlike imagination, the game of the Forever Place is one that comforts and elicits laughter. Imagine waking in Heaven with no aches or pains, a bubbling spring of joy rising from your toes, and receiving a warm embrace from your Heavenly Father. Leopards and lions; bears and wolves – all peacefully interacting with people and what was once their prey.
Joy leaps off of every page of this delightful book, and imagination abounds! Swimming with (and petting) whales and sharks, walking with dinosaurs and planning trips to Saturn stem from the imaginative minds of Sue and her children. Being called a good and faithful servant and being reunited with loved ones is a blessing and a gift that tops all the other heavenly (and worldly) adventures.
I can’t help but think of the scripture passage, Isaiah 40:28-31. The Lord certainly gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak when we put our hope in Him. For anyone who has experienced a long-term illness, anyone who has received a heart-breaking phone call, comfort can be found in the security of the Believer’s eternal destination. I encourage anyone and everyone – especially those who have a soft spot for pets – to order your copy of Sue’s book today
