Skippy & Sam Unleashed: the Year Everything Changed David Allen Lawrence

Skippy and Sam have decided it?s time to share their private diary with young people and adults, and invite you to experience ?The Year Everything Changed?. Sam?s life was painfully normal, but 365 days later he scarcely recognizes himself. He discovers his capacity to learn, lead, and love. And Sam has Skippy, his irresistible, insightful, and irrepressible little dog who, without exactly talking, imparts his simple canine truths. Sam?s horizons rapidly expand. Entering manhood, he finds (and loses?) his first love, resists school indoctrination, moves cross country, overcomes bullies, and becomes a climber, runner, sailor, kayaker, and organic farmer. He escapes a cougar, learns about babies and ?young? seniors, helps friends find Jesus? love, and rescues a boy from an evil vortex. Always at Sam?s side, Skippy befriends the world?s meanest cat, stars onstage, and finds his Princess. Amid youth literature overrun with dark themes, Skippy & Sam Unleashed is a refreshing breeze and ray of untainted light. Daily dabs of wisdom, insight, and fun blend into a beautiful portrait, revealing the hand of a wise and loving God.
