\u00a0Here are a few excerpts of some <\/span>advanced praise<\/span> for our book!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

“Dog in the Gap: Brief Explorations of Canine Care-Taking and Human Flourishing”\u00a0(It releases on Amazon: Monday August 19th!)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

From Evelyn Romig:<\/b><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“<\/span>What a refreshing read! And by refreshing, I mean not only crisp prose and photos that are–wait for it–so doggone cute! but true living water for the spirit. This collection of small essays by two different stylists not only celebrates the wonderful relationships of humans and their best friends, it examines the spiritual significance of ownership, training, domestication, and companionship. Doug Jackson and Lisa Colon Delay complement one another: one will write about a specific experience (the true “Labrador” nature of her pup) and then the other will challenge the reader with questions about animal souls, using sources as varied as C.S. Lewis and St. Francis. Hard for the Christian reader to finish this treat of a book without wanting to do two things–share the book and volunteer at the local animal shelter. Thanks, Doug and Lisa, on behalf of the sweet souls that cannot speak for themselves!”<\/i><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/i><\/b><\/div>\n
From Michelle Moore Mitchell:<\/strong><\/div>\n

“Just finished reading the review draft. I want more! … Not sentimental — but lots of tears. I’m going to read it again, starting tomorrow. This time, a chapter a day, so I can live with, experience, think about, and feel what is there more fully….”<\/i><\/p>\n

From Clark Roush:<\/b><\/div>\n

“Only on page 30, and I can already confidently declare you will want to read “Dog in the Gap.'”<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

ONLY 7 days until you can get the much anticipated book I’ve written with esteemed professor and long-time pastor Doug Jackson<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

WHAT’S SO COOL<\/strong>
\nI’m really proud of the content and layout of this book. For instance:
\n\u2022 Nearly all of the 88 pages include a captivating photo<\/strong> which really adds a lot to the experience.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Anyone who’s had a dog they loved will “get this” book (both editions).<\/strong> It’s powerful. It put into words and takeaways those deep bonds and lessons we experience uniquely when we have a furry companion.<\/p>\n

BONUS EDITION!<\/strong>
\n\u2022 The BONUS EDITION (will also be released on the same date) has well over 100 pages of extras, secret links to exclusive videos for this group, and plenty of extra photos and humor. (It’s the hardcore doggie fans Edition.) See below<\/span> for the Charity component.<\/i><\/p>\n

CLARITY
\n<\/strong>It’s set up to be easy to read<\/strong>. It’s no dense tome. There are terrific stories<\/strong> and there’s plenty of material and insights even a non pet owner can enjoy.<\/p>\n

CHARITY<\/strong>
\n\u2022 We are donating<\/strong> portions of the money you pay for the book (which is an affordable $2.99. You’d shell out $3 to help dogs, right?) to two local non-profits<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

For Doug, it’s the Gulf Coast Humane Society<\/a> of Corpus Christi, TX.<\/p>\n

For me, it’s a low-cost spay and neutering clinic in Allentown, PA (named alliteratively: “No Nonsense Neutering<\/a>“). They offer low cost services in Reading, Allentown and Quakertown, PA as a humane and preventative alternative<\/em><\/strong> to regulating overpopulation through euthanasia. (Unlike PETA<\/strong> who funds mass euthanasia programs<\/a> secretly<\/em>. “Fur<\/em> is murder!” they say, but they have a mass extermination system in place for kittens, rabbits, and puppies.\u00a0VIEWER\u00a0<\/strong>CAUTION ADVISED<\/strong>: Previous link has some grisly and\u00a0disturbing\u00a0photos.<\/span>)<\/p>\n

VIDEO:
\n<\/strong>Doug was kind enough to sit down and answer a few interesting questions on video for me. Some I’ve saved for the\u00a0Bonus Edition\u00a0for you super fans<\/em>! <\/strong>\u00a0You’ll have to hold tight patiently for a few more days!<\/p>\n

In this video (just 80 seconds long) Doug shares what he thinks will most surprise readers about the book.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I hope you’re as excited as we are!<\/p>\n
