Son requested his own

My son asked for his own personal copy of this book after he read the copy that we got through the library. I think that says a lot.

A heavenly treasure ..............Dog Jack

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.

Simple characters and simple plot - just what a student needs to reinforce the lessons of Civil War studies. Some religious (Christian) overtones.

TEACHERS: If you want to teach your students about the Civil War, DO NOT have them read Across Five Aprils, have them read this. This was an excellent book, and if you feel otherwise, ...
