Using the differences between cats and dogs in a light-hearted manner, the authors challenge our thinking about God in deep and profound ways.

Cat and Dog Prayer will help believers move from self-centered prayers to God-focused prayers

"Tasty Jesus deals with key cultural, philosophical, and theological representations of Christ that find expression in the North American church. Each of these respective cameos of Christ has colored the Christological understanding of many believers in the local assembly. We live in a society deeply embedded in a mindless individualism that is more concerned with a malleable Christ that suits their present taste than the Jesus of both the Bible and historic Christian orthodoxy. This book is at once a critique, a call, and a consideration. It is a critique of particular visions of Jesus that are embraced by specific subcultures, philosophical camps, and theological perspectives. It is a call to the local church, both its attendees and leadership, intended to awaken them to the problems with these various portraits in hope of stirring them to respond appropriately. It is a consideration of the primary ideological counterpoints to each view of Jesus, and a postulation of the best manner in which to equip believers in the local assembly to respond to each distortion of Jesus and live under the lordship of the real Christ. It is time to get Jesus out from under the tyranny of our personal tastes!"

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.
