The Dog Who was there book Review!

 

About the Book:

No one expected Barley to have an encounter with the Messiah.

He was homeless, hungry, and struggling to survive in first century Jerusalem. Most surprisingly, he was a dog. But through Barley’s eyes, the story of a teacher from Galilee comes alive in a way we’ve never experienced before.
Barley’s story begins in the home of a compassionate woodcarver and his wife who find Barley as an abandoned, nearly-drowned pup. Tales of a special teacher from Galilee are reaching their tiny village, but when life suddenly changes again for Barley, he carries the lessons of forgiveness and love out of the woodcarver’s home and through the dangerous roads of Roman-occupied Judea.
On the outskirts of Jerusalem, Barley meets a homeless man and petty criminal named Samid. Together, Barley and his unlikely new master experience fresh struggles and new revelations. Soon Barley is swept up into the current of history, culminating in an unforgettable encounter with the truest master of all as he bears witness to the greatest story ever told.

My Thoughts:

“The Dog Who Was There” is a delightful read. The story centers around a stray dog named Barley who is rescued by a couple during the time period of Jesus’ ministry. This is a sweet novel that will keep you turning the page until the end. However, if you read this keep in mind that this is meant to be read as a novel and not a theology book. I am interested in what the authors next novel will be.

I was given a copy of this book by Litfuse Publicity.
