Customer Reviews

The Righteous Dog

Anyone who has seen Dog's show or read his book and judges him as anything less than a righteous man of God, is short-sighted in their judgment. I would highly encourage you to read Judge Me: The Verdict on Judgement. Then, with a fresh perspective on how to look past his heritage, his skin, his attire, the colorful vocabulary he uses, or anything else that hinders you from seeing his heart, read his book again. Then maybe you will recognize what a true warrior he is for the Kingdom of God. This is truly an inspiring story about adversity - how to face it, stand up to it and overcome it.

A Great Read

I got hooked on Dog: The Bounty Hunter as I was flipping thru the channels one day looking for something to watch on TV. I received this book a few days before its release. It's an interesting and colorful look at Dog's life. It is not a book for those who are offended by cursing. The book is brutally honest. It's a book about a man who has turned his life around. Dog talks about his younger days as a bad boy, his time in prison, and as a drug user. He talks a great deal about his passions... His love for the Lord and his love for bounty hunting. The book goes into great detail about his hunt for Andrew Luster. Let's face it... Andrew Luster needed to be off the streets. Whether you like Dog or not, please read the book. You will get to know Duane "Dog" Chapman thru this book.

Excellent

Many people who see the show do not realize the background of Duane "Dog" Chapman. Most simply look on his outward appearance and judge him to be of no count. However, after reading this book, you will quickly come to realize that what is within a man means much more than what is on the outside. In this very honest book, Dog lays it all out for the readers to see - his past in vivid, descriptive language - in a way that grips you emotionally and makes you appreciate how he has come to where he is. My wife and I heard him speak recently where he claimed the title describes not simply his desire to catch fugitives, but God's desire to catch him. Excellent book, but definitely not for children to be reading.

Saddle up for a wild ride with the "Dog"

I'll admit that the only reason I bought the book was because it gave me a chance to shake hands with the "Dog" at a recent book signing at a Wal-Mart in Santa Clarita, CA. I started reading while waiting in line and right from the intro which recounted the capture of rapist Andrew Luster, I was hooked. It was like jumping in that black suburban with the "Dog" and the rest of the posse and off we went. The adventure of the bounty hunts was great, but add the deep and moving life story of Duane Chapman and I defy anyone to stop reading until the last page...A brave story told by a very brave man...May God continue to bless Duane "DOG" Chapman By the way..Beth was also at the book signing and I met her as well... she is GORGEOUS!!
