God Lessons As Taught To Me By My Dog is a book that aims to show the love and accessibility of a powerful God, often presented as one hiding high in the heavens.  The notion of a God who could be all-powereful and all-loving can seem too lofty to grasp.  God Lessons As Taught To Me By My Dog allows the reader to experience an intimate knowledge of God simply through the relationship between Ms Portis and her beloved doggie, Snoops. The book is thoughtful, using well-placed humor to bring greater understanding.
