“The Dog That Talked to God” reminded me of the old Disney movies, you know the kind the used to make when Walt Disney was alive.  Rufus is a joy and I wish that I could have a dog like him.  Mary is a complicated human being, aren’t we all?, and God wants to heal her damaged heart and uses Rufus to accomplish this.  “The Dog That Talked to God” is about grief and how not healing from grief can cause a person not to move forward and fulfill destiny.  Mr. Kraus has given us a wonderful story where he can explore the pain of losing your spouse and child and how we blame God and withdraw, both from Him and the world.  To heal from this kind of trauma it takes the love of God but we have to let Him.  Sometimes it takes a Rufus to accomplish this.  Besides if you are a dog lover you already know you talk to your dog and doesn’t it seem that your dog understands?  ”The Dog That Talked to God” is a highly enjoyable adventure.  I look forward to more from the talented Mr. Kraus.

Disclosure of Material Connection: I received this book free from Litfuse Publicity Group.   I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.

C. S. Lewis, who introduced Screwtape, a senior devil, to the world in 1942, knew that evil is powerful and personal. He understood that its main thrust was against God and the people of God.

There can be no doubt that Lewis would agree that Screwtape and his diabolical colleagues have not ceased their operations in the last seventy years. As the human decades have passed, the same war has been fought, with new weapons and different battle tactics.

How fortunate, then, that the following account, rescued from the archives of the Low Command’s Ministry of Misinformation, has fallen into our hands. This remarkable manuscript outlines the career of the prominent devil, Crumblewit SOD (Order of the Sons of Darkness, 1st Class). It was in a much mutilated state and has only, with difficulty, been cut and pasted together to make a reasonably coherent narrative of the activities of a post-Screwtape generation of devils. It is not, of course, “true” in the sense of being an objective appraisal of the struggles between good and evil which dominated human affairs in the period from 1950 to 2000. The account is distorted by Crumblewit’s truly diabolical conceit and also his ability for self-delusion. However, it does shed fresh light on the ups and down experienced by the church throughout this period.

Crumblewit’s energies were entirely deployed in the religious arena. He was employed exclusively in undermining the attempts of Christians to bring to bear upon world events the prerogatives of love, peace, and justice and to carry out the mission entrusted to them by Jesus . . .
