This is a lovely book. I'm not sure how anyone could be confused about it being a Christian book - it does have "God" in the title, after all! The author offers some nice, and sometimes humorous, descriptions of dog training class, and then relates each of her experiences to something that God is trying to teach us in the Bible. It's a short and easy read, also. I would definitely recommend!

Sometimes your best four-legged friend is also your best teacher.When you bring a new dog into your home, a wash of great joy can become a trial of perseverance as your furry pal chews, digs, yaps, and yes, piddles her way through every room in the house. Allison Pittman learned this all too well when she adopted a tiny, shiny puppy of indefinable breed. Stella wasted no time in turning her home upside-down as only a pup can. As could be expected, six weeks of obedience school covered the much needed basics stay, come, and down. What Allison didn't expect was the spiritual benefit she would receive as each Saturday lesson revealed a fascinating metaphor. In this heart-warming, thoughtful, and often hilarious tribute to her beloved Stella, Allison Pittman shares how she came to understand what it means to follow the ultimate Master, including how to: Sit at the feet of Jesus and listen for His voice: Drop It!And let go of personal agendas. Come! And when it's time to run in the right direction, Stay in God's presence. Saturdays with Stella, is a slightly neurotic yet curiously adorable canine will not only capture your heart's he'll show you how captivating you are to God.

The author also learned the unconditional love of god, through our pets. Great gift !
