I will have the opportunity to see the movie of Dog Jack in the making and I am glad that this book is bringing out how Jesus Our Personal Saviour (who lives in your heart,if you ask Him)also is apart of our everyday life, like President Lincoln. I love it when the Lord cares enough about us and wants to be apart of our lives. Now that is a cool God and I know Dog Jack is a cool book about a young man, his dog and life with Jesus.
