Dog That Whispered
$21.99Add to cartBestselling author Jim Kraus returns with a heartwarming tale about a dog who has people convinced he can talk.
Wilson Steele is a single professor and Vietnam veteran who likes living alone, insisting it’s too late for him to have a family. His mother disagrees. When she impulsively adopts a rescued black lab mix, she insists Thurman is special, and has whispered of the coming of grandchildren. Wilson brushes the notion off as fantasy. When his mother learns of her retirement community’s ‘no pets’ policy, she forces Wilson to take the lovable dog. Wilson notices Thurman’s growls do sound like words, but he knows he’s just projecting his own thoughts on the animal. If Wilson is talking to neighbors on their walks, and spending time with Emily, a widow with three children, it isn’t because Thurman encouraged him. After all, everyone knows dogs can’t talk…can they?

He hops in his RV to visit – and sketch – the buildings and places across America that he and his wife never got to see.

The dog even fits perfectly in the sidecar of George’s Vespa motor scooter. As George warms to his travel mate, he begins talking to Lewis, sharing stories from his life and his unrealized dreams. Along the way, Lewis seems to attract people and make instant friends with the quirky and charming, funny and odd people who cross their path. Could it be that his new friends – and this strange dog – will help George to finally confront the secret he’s been hiding? Can Lewis’s devotion to the truth be enough to save George from himself?

Cat That God Sent
$16.99Add to cartJake Wilkerson, a disillusioned young pastor who is expert at hiding his fears, takes on a new assignment at a small rural church in Coudersport, Pennsylvania – which is a far piece from anywhere and full of curiously odd and eccentric people. His first day on the job, he is adopted by Petey- a cat of unknown origins and breed-but a very sentient cat who believes that he is on a mission from God to redeem Jake and bring him back to the truth.
Jake must confront his doubts early on when he meets Emma Grainger, a single woman and a veterinarian who dismisses all Christians as “those people.” Then, Tassy, a young runaway with a secret, arrives at the door of the church looking for a place of refuge. How does Jake deal with this runaway and his interest in Dr. Grainger? More importantly, can Jake rekindle his faith? Petey does his best to lead all people to the truth, in a most subtle and feline way.
