This devotional collection lives up to its subtitle – devotions for animal lovers. The devotions consist of a Bible verse, a life application in the form of an animal story, and a brief prayer. The only oddity is that the dates run from May 1 to April 30 rather than on a calendar year.

I always love these. One gets to know the contributors. I miss some that have moved on to other pursuits, but am learning to love the new ones. A nice short devotional each day with bible verses tied to the selection and a prayer for the day. A great start to my morning this year, though I have appreciated them in the evening in past years.

I have read these every year for many years now. I really appreciate the wonderful stories. I like getting to know all the different writers and hear what is happening in their lives. Each volume has brief bios of each contributor that tells what has happened in the last year in a paragraph. I feel that these folks are friends. There is always a gem in each reading to brighten the day ahead. The bible verses at the end of the entry get me to dig deeper into the meaning of the writing.

I really fell in love with this book. After a couple of months of devotions, I got a copy to share with my Mama. Some of our favorite writers are featured here. This is a book I'll read over and over again. So glad to have stumbled across it. I see it as a wonderful gift for many friends. Highly recommend!
