Book Reviews of I & Dog
Book Review: NATURES CREATURES OPEN GATEWAYS TO HEAVEN
Summary: 4 Stars
Walk among nature, especially with your dog, and watch how you become inspired and energized by this activity. The Monks of New Skete, authors of this thoughtful book show that animals can be a source of meditation based on their observations of the spiritual bond of love existing between pets and their owners. Quotations in the book can be used by anyone to meditate, contemplate, relax, open the heart center and slip through the gateways of heaven for a brief respite, then come back to earth, ready to cope with daily life.
Summary of I & Dog
The Monks of New Skete have been breeding, raising, and training German Shepherds for more than thirty years at their Cambridge, New York, monastery. Their perennial bestseller, How to Be Your Dog?s Best Friend, is considered a classic in the dog-training field. First published in 1978, and completely revised and updated in 2002, the book has brought the Monks international acclaim for their successful mixture of discipline and love. Their second book, The Art of Raising a Puppy, was also a bestseller. Together, the two titles have sold close to one million copies.Now, the Monks of New Skete reflect on the amazing bond that dogs and their owners share in the lavishly illustrated gift book, I & DOG. Celebrating this special relationship through words and images, the Monks offer a simple message: we could do worse than to learn from dogs ? about ourselves, about our spirituality, and about God.
Taking readers on an eloquent exploration of the profound attachment between human and dog, this 80-page hardcover book features inspirational passages from the Monks of New Skete combined with more than fifty spectacular black and white and color images taken by talented photographers John Sann and Monique Stauder. Distilling all the wisdom and insight that the Monks have gained over the years living with and training these special creatures, this beautiful book pays homage to our extraordinary connection with our dogs.
In keeping with their philosophy, the Monks stress that love grows through respect, understanding and nurturing, and that it is humans? responsibility to listen and learn from our canine partners.
