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>

Story Behind The Book

The book is layed out in a study type. It has an introduction on how the book is to be used, a history section, so that the prospective student gets an idea, under which conditions the apostles worked in order to put God's word into useful help. It contains 21 study periods ( eight in the first study, and 13 in the second study) An addenda has been added at the rear of the book, cross-referenced to the studies, it has several Bible verses explained in lengthy detail, finally the last section of the book contains discussion topic questions, which can be used by the moderator, or Bible-Study leader to insert at any time, or pose these questions to the students, as a sort of homework. each study period also has an exposition at the end of the study, which either can be used for a fast recap of the session, or as a lead-in for the next session.
