This little book contains 52 five-minute-reads to inspire dog
walkers to ponder the mysteries of faith and the wonders of God.
Each day, popular writer and artist, Henry Martin offers a simple
reflection (accompanied by his own illustrations) to be read just
before setting out and then chewed over while you and your dog walk
together. He invites you to consider: the everyday (house-training,
basic obedience, toys, instructions), the profound (crime,
punishment, rejection, adoption, ageing, death, the afterlife), the
theological (salvation, the Scriptures, prayer), the psychological
(and physiological differences between humans and dogs), the
disgusting (including why they scoot their rears across the new
carpet!) and underlying all of these, love (human, divine and
canine). Though primarily for dog walkers, Henry adds: ‘This book
could also work for those who are housebound and even those not
lucky enough to have a dog in their lives: the themes are
universal.’
A classic commentary in modern language ... this volume contains
the wealth of exposition, metaphors, analogies, and illustrations
that have set Matthew Henry's Commentary apart as one of the

today. Passage by passage, its prayerful, penetrating reflections
and rich insights into the very heart of God's Word are sure to
challenge and inspire you.Ideal for personal devotions, Bible
studies, and lesson and sermon preparations, The New Matthew Henry
Commentary will enable you to rediscover this classic work---or
discover it for the first time. Forever fresh and never failing to
render new pearls of wisdom, this beloved text is one that you will
reach for often to obtain deeper understanding of and appreciation
for the Scriptures.
