About

My name is Denise L. Cook, known as The ORACLE. I am a vessel, an Oracle forever after the order of Melchizedek. A wise woman with sage advice.  My book, The ORACLE Speaks... just because, is a book of positive, motivational, inspirational poetry, prose and song. The words I write are not my own, they are messages needed to be heard and understood. The words I share bring life to self-love. If music is the universal language of love, and 'harmony is the speech of Havona', then G-d's words are the universal language for life. I love my life, my children, my man and you, all G-d's children. Enjoy your read. Find truth between the lines and enlightenment and understanding in the content.

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>
