Review
"Bob Sjogren and Gerald Robison have put together a parable, which is not only humerous, but profound. It helps redefine who we are in relationship to Christ in a way that is prophetic, yet easy to accept." - Tony Campolo, Professor Emeritus at Eastern University and author of It's Friday But Sunday's Commin' "Cat & Dog Theology will help you reevaluate your relationship with the Master. This kind of obedience training is what the church needs, especially in 21st century America!" - John Ankerburg, Ankerburg Theological Institute "Many Christians today have lost sight of the fact that the ultimate purpose of man is to glorify God. In their marvelous book, Bob Sjogren and Gerald Robison show very clearly how our theology has deteriorated, and how we can be restored to a correct and dynamic belief and trust in our great God and Savior." - Bill Bright, Founder, Campus Crusade for Christ “Topics such as feel-good theology, suffering, fairness, “winner’s circle gospel,” wrong priorities, and Christian humanism are dealt with in a fresh way that causes even the most seasoned theologian or missionary to ponder if he or she has not unwittingly been affected with this self-centered mindset. . . . At first the book’s title made me skeptical about its contents. But once I began reading it, it was one book I could not put down. Its message is so important I now require all my missions students to read it, and recommend missionaries and mission committees to do so as well.” - Marvin J. Newell, professor, Moody Graduate School, as reviewed in EMQ Magazine
Product Description
The God given traits of cats ("You exist to serve me") and dogs ("I exist to serve You") are often similar to certain theological attitudes held by many Christians in their view of God and their relationship to Him. Using the differences between cats and dogs in a light-handed manner, the authors challenge this thinking in deep and profound ways. This life-changing book will provide a new perspective and vision for God as we delight in the God who delights in us.

A Must Read, Though a Bit Fundamentalist,
By Texaspresbyterian (Houston, TX United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cat and Dog Theology: Rethinking Our Relationship with Our Master (Paperback)
I first experienced Bob's material when I took the "Perspectives on the World Christian Movement" class at my church several years ago. Bob used this material to teach the second class."Cat and Dog Theology" parallels Bonhoeffer's "Cheap Grace" concept but is much more illustrative and easier to comprehend (and very entertaining). And it hits the nail on the head every bit as much as DieBon did. "Cat and Dog" asks us : Is God our cosmic servant, or are we God's earthly servants? It also gives very clear examples so your can determine how much of a canine or feline you are (I still have to admit to a few "meows" myself). An important read for everyone, even us overly intellectual Presbyterians. (And certainly better than "The Purpose Driven Life", though just about anything is....)

turn your world upside down,
By L. S. Shadrach "steveshadrach" (Fayetteville, Arkansas United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Cat and Dog Theology: Rethinking Our Relationship with Our Master (Paperback)
Am I a "cat Christian" or am I a "dog Christian"? Am I looking at life from my perspective or God's? Is everything for my glory or His? This book revolutionizes the way you look at everything! Get it, use it personally and in your small groups. I recommend it to everyone I can.

This review is from: Cat and Dog Theology: Rethinking Our Relationship with Our Master (Paperback)
Great book on getting our focus back to what it should be. Very fun, creative approach to a very tough subject. It is a wonderful book written for our time (and all time). America's churches will do well to take heed in glorifying our Maker like He deserves to be glorified.
