Saturdays with Stella

This is one of those books that I wish I had asked for giveaway copies! I did not expect to find such a gem of a book in this one. I was blown away.

In Saturdays with Stella, Allison Pittman shows us some amazing insight to our walk with our Master as she goes through obedience school with her dog. I have to say "WOW" about it! Some things I was struggling with emotionally that just disappeared while reading this book. I learned to SIT at the feet of Jesus and to DROP my own agenda.

Even though this is not the best writing ever, I would still give this a high recommendation. I am also going to be passing my copy around. (In fact, it is on the second person right now)

If I gave QTpie ratings on things I would give this a 7 Qtpies.

If you give this book a try, here is what is in store for you.........

Summary:

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(s).” 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–sit, 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!–when it’s time to run in the right direction

Stay!–in God’s presence

In Saturdays with Stella, a slightly neurotic yet curiously adorable canine will not only capture your heart–she’ll show you how captivating you are to God.
