What Squirt Teaches Me about Jesus: Kids Learning about Jesus while Playing with Fido - Hardcover

by Verneda S. Harris (Author)

What Squirt Teaches Me about Jesus is a delightful book about how a cute and fluffy Lhasa Apso shares in Christlike behavior with his pet parent every day just by being his playful self. Squirt demonstrates to children that God forgives them and loves them with unconditional love, is omnipresent and omniscient, and wants them to draw near to him. God provides for, cares for, and protects his children and will never leave nor forsake them. He wants them to delight in him, to be happy, and to enjoy all the good in life while preparing for heaven; and to know that if he is with them, he is better than the whole world against them.

In addition to learning about God's Word, children may begin interacting with their pets with a deeper awareness and experiencing a greater sensitivity and responsibility for caring for them. They may also begin to be more appreciative of God's being in everything and that every person and every living thing has value. Squirt may set in children's hearts some examples of what walking in God's way looks like in plain ole everyday modern life, setting the stage for children to experience higher growth and development in any arena with a greater propensity to master any challenge they may face.
