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

Now I had this quiet moment that I longed for, to recap all that had happened during the day. I reflected on the ups and downs, and as hard as I tried to keep my thoughts from going to a sour spot, they went there anyway. I thought about my seemingly never-ending journey of obtaining my permanent residency in view of the fact that my H1B (working visa) was about to expire in eight weeks despite all my attempts to ensure that appropriate steps were taken to avoid setbacks. It was a critical time in my life. If a miracle didn’t come through for me yesterday, now, or tomorrow, I was going to lose everything I had worked for and more. It felt like an open wound in my stomach anytime I thought about it.

Lakin, author and editor</span><span class="ContentItalic"><br /><br /></span></span></span></span></span></p> <p class="Contenttext">&quot;Interesting.  Full of suspense.  Insightful and downright helpful. Dr. Babalola’s book, “My God: Even in the Last Minute” is a must read for every believer who needs inspiration to trust God in the last minute.  Woven in her own personal experience, the author has successfully presented a God whom you can count on when time seems to have run out and possibility is no longer practical.<br /><br /><br />The depths of despair and indeed hopelessness when the author faced possible deportation translated to heights of a mixture of joy and faith as she witnessed the faithfulness of God is wonderful to behold. One cannot but breathe sighs of relief with the author at various points in the book as she recounts God’s timely interventions in her journey of faith with God.<br /><br /><br />Those trusting God, not just in legalizing their stay in the United States, or elsewhere for that matter, and those in various oddities of life who find themselves trapped in difficult situations, if not impossible, will find hope, inspiration, and a renewed faith in the God who is not just above and beyond time, but who can work in spite of it to bring about the miracles He wishes to wrought in the lives of those who dare believe. <br /></p> <p class="Contenttext">This book will enhance your faith in the God of today.  It will help you to remove the blockage that time may present as you too, like the author, journey with the God who works in spite of the limitations of time.  I recommend this book&quot;<br />~ <span class="ContentItalic">Dr. Tai Ikomi, Author of Effective Forgiveness <br /></span><br />For more, kindly check out the below link;<br /><a href="http://www.amazon.com/My-God-Even-Last-Minute/product-reviews/1453640274/ref=dp_top_cm_cr_acr_txt?ie=UTF8&amp;showViewpoints=1">http://www.amazon.com/My-God-Even-Last-Minute/product-reviews/1453640274/ref=dp_top_cm_cr_acr_txt?ie=UTF8&amp;showViewpoints=1</a><br /></p>
