From the Author
"Four Paws from Heaven is a celebration of the wonder and wisdom of our Creator. I am awed at how God layers pictures of His truths throughout His creation. My dogs are one way the Lord speaks to my heart to reveal new truths and remind me of old truths in exciting new ways. I pray our stories will touch our readers and show them more of God’s love for them." —M.R. Wells, co–author of Four Paws from Heaven

"If you have eyes to see and ears to hear, many of the answers to life’s greatest questions can be found in your own backyard. This book was inspired by watching and listening to my dog, Gracie, who simply, by being her natural God–created self, taught me great and unsearchable things I did not know." —Kris Young, co–author of Four Paws from Heaven

"Our dogs are treasured gifts from our Creator. Having them in our lives is a wonderful resource for character. Through them we can learn about devotion, obedience, unconditional love, peace and a host of other wonderful qualities. If you love dogs, I’m sure you’ll enjoy our stories." —Connie Fleishauer, co–author of Four Paws from Heaven

Customer Reviews

A Must Read for Dog Lovers
I loved Four Paws from Heaven. It brought back memories of my pets and the quirky things they did. I shed a few tears, laughed out loud, and kept a big smile on my face as I read each page. If you've ever owned a pet and gaining a more vivid picture of God entices you, then this book is a must read! From the first page you'll be hooked. Wells, Young and Fleishauer filled this book with true canine stories with life changing take-aways. At least one, but probably many, of the lessons in this book will be relevant to any reader. The best part of Four Paws from Heaven is that it compares our beloved pet's behavior with our own human behavior--the resulting "Aha" moments inevitably draw us closer to God.

Four Paws
This is an excellent read for anyone, but especially for God and Pet lovers. I bought several copies, after I read it, to share with friends who were sick, troubled, or dying and also share my love of animals, it helped each of them! It aids me tremendously while I grieve the loss of my own best friend (who happened to be a dog). I wish I could buy a copy for everyone to read! Please read it! It will bring you much comfort regardless of your circumstances in life.
