I am going to write about two different books that I finished this week. The first is a book about Jesus entitled, "Jesus: Lord and Savior" written by F.F. Bruce. F.F Bruce was a great Bible scholar who wrote many works about Jesus including "The Hard Sayings of Jesus". He also wrote and edited a number of commentaries. His commentary on the book of Philippians is one of my particular favorites.
In this book, F.F Bruce writes about the evidence for the historical Jesus and about Jesus' life. There are informative chapters about Jesus as the Son of God and the Incarnate Word. The entire book is very well written and includes many Scripture references. I highly recommend this book and others by the same author.
The second book I want to mention today is a dog book entitled "The Compassion of Dogs" by Kim D.R. Dearth. She includes many stories in this book about how dogs have helped people to have better lives. One of the stories I particularly liked was about a dog named Barnaby. Barnaby was a golden retriever who worked as a hearing assistance dog. Barnaby eventually become blind, but that didn't stop him from helping his partner know when there was something that she needed to hear. Another great story is about a dog named Moss who helped reach a young girl that no one else could reach. All of the stories in this book are good, and I recommend it.
Tomorrow is Thanksgiving in the United States, and I want to wish everyone a happy Thanksgiving. There is much to be thankful for. The Weekend Sermon will be posted on Saturday this week.
