Description
<p>When Jessica Bryant pesters her wealthy parents to allow her to have a dog as a pet, the answer is a resounding "No"; 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>

Reviews
<span style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:20px;">There are very few inspirational writers that have the courage to write stories that have real people in them, people with flaws, who might be provoked to curse, and whose thoughts wander into the "red zone," despite the fact that in real life, people of faith do all these things. Three of my favorite authors, Karen Kingsbury, Andrew Greeley, and Pamela Thibedeaux have that sort of courage and the talent to make their stories work on a human level, remain clean, and be inspiring. If you have ever considered Christian fiction bland, then check out the Tempered series. It will be well worth your time. The family is one I love revisiting with each new book, and am confident you will as well. ~ Reviewed By AK @ </span><a>Amazon</a>
