O knihe

There's a line about the difference between cats and dogs. It's said, "Dogs have masters, cats have staff." The same might be said for our relationship with God. That is, we call Him "Master," but we often treat Him like a "staff member." Our prayers often seem to be limited to, "Watch over this...give me that...and make my life safe, soft, easy, and comfortable." In doing so, we're busy telling God what we want Him to do, and if He doesn't provide it, not only are we disappointed, but we become accusatory. All too often, when people ask God "Why?", it's not an explanation we're seeking, it's an accusation that God isn't doing His job very well. A Dog's Tale is an allegory on "What's gone wrong with missions and evangelism?" How did we get to the place where Christians enjoy the hand of God more than the face of God? That is, they look for what God will do for them rather than enjoying who He is. This is a story that shows us not only how we got to this point, but how we multiply these attitudes with the way we do missions and evangelism. While it looks like a children's book and reads that way, it's actually for adults to study and ponder their own relationship with their Master. So we like to say, "It's a book for adults and the children who love them." Don't skip the explanation and study guide of the allegory...there's a lot to consider for yourself, others, and our traditional methods of winning others to Christ. If you enjoy and look forward to what God might do for you more than you enjoy actually being with Him...then this book is for you and your own self-discovery.
