Description

<p>When Jessica Bryant pesters her wealthy parents to allow her to have a dog as a pet, the answer is a resounding &quot;No&quot;; but they soon come to regret their decision when thier home is broken into one evening whilst they are out and their daughter kidnapped and held for ransom. The kidnappers, in the form of four seedy and incompetent characters wearing Disneyland-type masks, take her hostage and keep her incarcerated in a place from which there appears to be no escape. However, they reckon without the resourcefulness of our heroine, and the courage of a wonderful stray dog who comes to her aid and whom she names 'Murdo'. And so begins an exciting and humurous accounting of the couples' adventures together as they consistently foil and outwit the abductors whilst on the run together.<br /> This is a lovely story of the friendship between a girl and a dog, bringing out themes of responsibility, camaraderie, redemption, salvation and self-sacrifice. It includes some wonderful dialogue sequences as Jessica teaches her new four-legged friend how to communicate with her, with additional delightful conversations between the animals when a rabbit and a sparrow join forces with them in an effort to outwit the kidnappers and restore Jessica safely back to her parents' home. </p>

<span style="vertical-align:middle;"><strong>Perfect For Christian Spouses Looking For Help With The &quot;Spark&quot;</strong>, November 3, 2008</span> <div style="margin-bottom:.5em;"> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td valign="top">By </td><td><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/pdp/profile/A3MZ97KM2CI5MU/ref=cm_cr_dp_pdp"><span style="font-weight:bold;">Daniel Hall <span style="white-space:nowrap;">&quot;www.speakerscruisefree.com&quot;<span class="swSprite s_chevron custPopRight"></span></span></span></a> (Corpus Christi, TX USA) <br /></td></tr></tbody></table></div> My wife saw me reading Husband-ry 101 and wanted to know what I was learning (in a joking way). I told her that I was learning a lot about &quot;keeping the spark alive&quot; in marriage from a regular man (not a psychologist or couch counselor). The premise of Mike's book is that much of the success (or failure) in a marriage is due to communication between the spouses. <br /><br />This book is great for Christian couples and perfect for church newlywed classes. Good thing too, I understand you can customize Mike's book (possible with this publisher) to make his book more personalized with your church name and scriptures inside...a big hit in marriage classes. <br /><br />Daniel Hall <br />Author, Speak On Cruise Ships: 8 Easy Steps to a Lifetime of FREE Luxury Cruises <br />http://www.SpeakersCruiseFree.com<br /><br />*********************************<br /><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td valign="top"><br /></td><td><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/pdp/profile/AB28YA3E3NGFH/ref=cm_cr_dp_pdp"><span style="font-weight:bold;">Marybeth <span style="white-space:nowrap;">Baribeau<span class="swSprite s_chevron custPopRight"></span></span></span></a> (West Chester, Ohio)</td></tr></tbody></table><div class="tiny" style="margin-bottom:.5em;"> <strong><span class="h3color tiny">This review is from: </span><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Husband-ry-101-Husband-Spouse-Always/dp/0741417456/ref=cm_cr_dp_orig_subj">Husband-ry 101: How to Train Your Husband to be the Spouse You've Always Wanted Him to Be (Paperback)</a></strong> </div> Husbandry - 101 was an excellent book for women and men alike. I couldn't put it down. My husband enjoyed it almost as much as I did. Michael McCann captures topics that people laugh about, cry about and agonize over. My friends and I have not stopped talking about it for over two weeks! We have added it to our book review club. Mr. McCann cannot write the sequel fast enough for me! <br /><br />*********************************<br /><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/pdp/profile/A2N1TTZ771W5VU/ref=cm_cr_pr_pdp"><span style="font-weight:bold;">E. <span style="white-space:nowrap;">Galamb</span></span></a><br />   <div class="tiny" style="margin-bottom:.5em;"> <strong><span class="h3color tiny">This review is from: </span><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Husband-ry-101-Husband-Spouse-Always/dp/0741417456/ref=cm_cr_pr_orig_subj">Husband-ry 101: How to Train Your Husband to be the Spouse You've Always Wanted Him to Be (Paperback)</a></strong> </div> I needed to read this book before my wife got her hands on it. The purpose was to strike out the prose that would provide the wrong message. Ladies, you can believe 99.44% of the book. Men are predictable, women are not. For this reason, the book provides amazing insight into what makes men tick. Since men are not identical, there will be one or two things that your husband will not agree with Mr. McCann. My wife knows that if I have been out of town for a few days, the last place I want to go is to a restaurant to talk. I need some home cooking. Read and study the book and you will have the husband you always wanted. I can't wait for Husband-ry 102.
