Hands down, this is the BEST book about grief.
I can't say enough about this book. I can't give it enough stars.
I have hand-sold this to so many friends, neighbors, customers, family members.
I revisit this book whenever I'm having a difficult day with grief, or helping support others.
I hope that someday, I can meet the authors of this book to thank them in person.

This sounded like an intriguing read when I read the description of the story and it was. Although I might have written the story with the dog hanging out with Jesus more, it was also good the way the author wrote it. As with a lot of books about animals, it seems like it's written for children in some place, but this book is definitely not for kids.
I was drawn to this book because I found it fascinating to read about Jesus through the eyes of a dog. I instantly liked Barley and enjoyed his journey. The author really captured my attention from the beginning. Barley , along with his siblings and mother were having fun playing in the grass when someone decided to end their adventure. I felt myself holding my breath at the dramatic escape Barley made. The author really brings the story to realism with words that grasp your attention.
Barley is sweet, loveable and curious. He wanted to be accepted and loved and I thought that was a great addition to the story. We all go through life wanting to be loved and along the way we learn what unconditional love is through the teachings of Jesus. The book is well written and easy to follow. I loved the description of the time period and felt as if I were there walking along side Barley. I especially liked the many lessons Barley learned liked forgiveness, love, family and struggles throughout his journey.
Barley and people he meets along the way will encounter danger, compassion and a familiar story told in a way that leaves you weeping. I loved every moment of the story and found it hard to put down. It's a great book and relates to our own struggles with forgiveness . What would it be like to meet the Messiah? I highly recommend this book to everyone.
I received a copy of this book from LitFuse Blogger Group and The Fiction Guild. . The review is my honest opinion.… (mere)

The dog who is there is a touching story of a young puppy and his trials on his journey to find Christ. This book infers that Christ touched everyone's heart including the young dog who didn't know who he was.
I was completely moved by the story, the trials and hard times this poor dog went through brought me to tears several times . Although the story broke my heart, I was overwhelmed with joy to see that Barley finally found the happiness he rightly deserved. This young dog had a heart of gold and all of his masters knew this and he saw the kindness in Jesus eyes and knew Jesus was love too. I loved that he finally ended up having a happily ever after. This was quite the tear jerker but a worthy read if you love dogs.… (mere)
