About this audiobook
The death of your beloved pet can be one of the most heartbreaking losses you'll ever endure. But recovery isn't only about closure. You also want to know where your best friend has gone.
After the intense, unexpected grief he experienced following the loss of his own companions, animal lover and biblical scholar Gary Kurz set out to prove that there are indeed pets in Paradise. After devoting himself to countless hours of research, he now shares his inspiring insights to bring you a richer understanding of animals and their souls. You'll finally find answers to common questions about animals and the afterlife-and you'll also get a thirty-day devotional to help you work through your grief.
If you've ever loved and lost a pet, or if you know someone who has shared a special bond with a furry face and a cold, wet nose, you'll welcome this amazing book's reassurance that love and loyalty are truly eternal, and that someday, you and your pets will be together again.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5If you have ever lost a pet this book may reassure you of that pet's place in the presence of God. Kurtz searches out scripture and brings to light the meaning behind them. Assuring that God loves, takes care of all his creatures and wants them in his presence. Kurtz shares humorous stories of pets that he has encountered through out his life. The end of the book contains a 30 day devotional. The selected passages not only reassure someone who has lost a pet but any one who is in need of a spiritual pick me up. However he does spend a small portion of the book writing that he does not wish to offend anyone. I find this unnecessary and more than a tad bit annoying.
