About
Reaching out to the millions of dog and animal lovers, David Teems offers delightful stories that highlight spiritual principles through the antics and love of his canine companions.
Just ask the dog
A dog makes devotion look as if it is the best part of life. And why shouldn't it be? Author and musician David Teems examines the possibilities. Using dogs as a playful yet powerful image of devotion, he gives you a glimpse of what the devoted life is, what it looks like, how it behaves, the possibility of attaining it, and what little work it has to be. The devoted life is filled with:
• uncommon love
• irrepressible joy
• deep and immovable contentment
• wonder and fascination
• communion with God
Worship is meant to be a way of life, a continuous day-by-day, moment-by-moment event that engages the divine among the ordinary-a life of pure possibility, life as it should be, as it was designed to be.
Through these energetic stories, readers will see how their canine friends offer unconditional love, eagerness to please, relish being with them, and are committed to "the now." David draws on a dog's positive attributes to help people fill their lives with abundant love, unabashed enthusiasm, and wholehearted devotion to Jesus.
David Teems, author of To Love Is Christ, has been active in music for 25 years. He's recorded seven albums and worked with many artists, including the Gaithers and Mylon LeFevre. He currently performs with Anxious Heart, a worship band based in Nashville. His passion is writing, so adding author to his repertoire was a natural. David, his wife, Benita, and their Dalmatian, Sophie, live in Tennessee. www.davidteems.com
