My Review:
This book immediately grabbed my heart. Franklin’s journey and the way that love and tender care brought Franklin from being a fearful, unwanted rescue pup to a much-beloved member of the Masters family is a heart-warming and inspiring one. Any really good book has both tears and laughter, and Franklin’s story certainly includes both of these.
But it’s the themes of faith, hope, and love that set this book above most animal rescue stories. The author has skillfully and loving compared our needs to Franklin’s. We need God’s grace and redemption each day in our own lives, and the author does a wonderful job of showing us through scripture how God’s greatest goal is to not only redeem us, but to help us live our lives secure and happy in His love.
This would be a good book to give to someone who’s struggling and needs encouragement. Mature believers and new believers can both find help in these short devotional chapters. This is the first book I’ve read by this author, and I’ll be looking forward to reading more from him in the future.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher. All opinions are my own.
