Heavenly Humor for the Cat Lovers Soul: 75 Fur-Filled Inspirational Readings [Paperback]

I ordered three of "Heavenly Humor for the Cat Lover's Soul", as gifts for three friends of that CATegory. They were delighted.

"Heavenly Humour for the Cat Lover's Soul: 75 Fur-Filled Inspirational Readings" is a cheerful collection of Scripture readings and chapters on Christian virtue meditations inspired by the love of feline domestic companions. Divided into sections on God's protection, wisdom, contentment, love, trusting God, patience, blessings, hope & forgiveness, serving, and obedience, "Heavenly Humor for the Cat Lover's Soul" is just what the Dr. prescribed for instructions on how to lead a happy, purposeful, good, Christian life. Who would imagine so much philosophy could be inspired by the humble cat? Then again, how many cats have you met who could be described as humble? The beauty of a human's long-term history of relationships with cats is the cat's basic insulation against fear, self-doubt, or inner anxieties. Perhaps we could learn something from our feline friends? One of the favorite quotations relates to cats' basic sense of security:"I wish I had the contentment of my kitty who, while industrious in his own way, understands the importance of taking a nap or curling up beside someone important to him or enjoying a spot of sun on the floor before it moves on for the day (Carol Smith, p. 55)." In a chapter on contentment, this is paired with the following Scriptural quotation: "The Lord is good to all; he has compassion on all he has made (Psalm 145:9 NIV)." Highly recommended as a gift or daybook for prayer or meditation, "Heavenly Humor for the Cat Lover's Soul" is part of a series from Barbour which includes "Heavenly Humor for the Dog Lover's Soul," "Heavenly Humor for the Woman's Soul," and soon to include "Hevenly Humor for the Chocolate Lover's Soul" and "Heavenly Humor for the Mother's Soul."

Okay...so I'm a little biased. I have four pieces in this book. But, after I read my contributions (just to make sure I really did see my name in print), I read many of the others. Every single one is heartfelt, entertaining, and inspirational. Whether you have a cat that owns you or perhaps just love the little fur-balls from afar, you will enjoy learning spiritual truths through the antics of some of His most adorable creatures!
