Cat and Dog Theology: Rethinking Our Relationship with Our Master. Living Passionately for the Glory of God by Gerald Robison, Bob Sjogren
3.0
The premise of this book is based on how cats and dogs behave towards their humans. Cats expect to be waited on, they will come to you when they feel like it, and everything is about them. Dogs, on the other hand, are exuberant about being with you and they want to be with you. So, sometimes we are like cats and we want God to focus on us and what we want. And sometimes we are like dogs and live to give God the glory. He then goes on to flesh out how we can be more like dogs and less like cats.
The book was good and I enjoyed some parts of it. I especially liked his illustration of Jabez, Naaman's wife's servant girl, and Stephen. Jabez asked for God to bless him, and God did. The little servant girl had surely gone through much trauma during her life, yet she allowed God to use her to be a blessing to others. And Stephen, well, we know what happened to him! He gave his life for Jesus....literally. But God blessed all three and all three gave glory to God.
My main problem with the book was that it just seemed to go on and on. I had already gotten the point long before the book ended. I would recommend it, though, to new believers and I certainly didn't hate it.
