This is one of those books that I keep picking up and rereading. When the book arrived in my home, I briefly read it and then put it down, but was drawn back to it when I lost my beloved cat Percy whom had been a part of my life for sixteen years. I found myself wanting answers to the questions of where Percy would go, and would I find my beloved cat when I got to Heaven. Well this book certainly helped me understand what the Bible says about our Pets and gives me hope that God is taking care of all of our precious pets. This book is a must have for anyone who is grieving the loss of a pet, because as well all know they aren't just pets but more like our children. Recommended! ( )

Gary Kurz, uses Bible scriptures to support the theory that our pets have souls and go to heaven. The title Wagging Tails in Heaven; The Gift of Our Pets' Everlasting Love draws-in the pet lover. The cover has an engaging picture of a kitten and pup. Kurz's writing style is so personal that it seems he is speaking directly to the reader.

The book isn't as soft a read as the title and cover might lead one to expect. It reads as though each chapter could be a Sunday sermon. Kurz researched his subject. Though the book is written with compassion and heart it is also written with knowledge and supportive detail. The book has substance.

Kurz writes "The Bible speaks to each reader on an individual basis knowing the thoughts and heart of the individual turning its pages. One passage can say one thing to a reader and something completely different, yet appropriate, to another. Whatever it says to the reader will be personalized to reach into that individual's presence and stir his or her soul. What other book can claim the perfection and power of the Bible?" (p. 207) Wagging Tails in Heaven shares some of these same qualities. ( )
