A Year In The Lives Of God’s Furry Angels by Kirby Lee Davis

Jan5

Absolutely Delightful

A Year In The Lives Of God’s Furry Angels by Kirby Lee Davis is an absolutely delightful book. I read the original book, and now I have read the newly released 2024 hardback edition which is positively charming.

The reader journeys through the twelve months following a young couple and their cat, and the other animals and humans whom they encounter along the way.

This is a cat lovers delight. Kirby Lee Davis has certainly captured the lives of cats in several walks of life. He gives them voices that seem believable to this cat lover.

We meet old Sebastian in the early months and see how devastating his passing is. For anyone who has loved and lost their fur babies, we can certainly empathise with Jessica. “She will always cling to her memories of Sebastian.” Other cats may come and go, each one taking up residence in our hearts.

For the rest of the year, we follow new kitten, Bridget who is full of joi de vivre and a young kitten’s natural curiosity. I certainly remember the climbing the curtain stage; the biting stage; and the fussy eating stage when we have had young kittens. “After several different attempts, Jessica finally provides a food Bridget likes.” We’ve all done it – pandered to our fur babies fussy eating habits!

The Road To Renewal Annotated by Kirby Lee Davis

A Rich Experience

The Road To Renewal Annotated by Kirby Lee Davis is a marvellous, updated edition of The Road To Renewal – but this is so much more! It is beautifully presented in a stunning hardback copy. The front cover is very tranquil, inviting the reader to step inside.

In this annotated version, the first two thirds are the story and the final third is the notes to accompany the story. We learn about the background to popular culture in the 1990’s and earlier as well as famous figures, biblical references and the author’s background and upbringing. It is all vey interesting and brings the story to life. Reading this version is a rich experience and one which I totally enjoyed.

I received a free copy from the author. A favourable review was not required. All opinions are my own.

Here is my original review of the book:

Lions Of Judah by Kirby Lee Davis

See History Come Alive

Lions Of Judah by Kirby Lee Davis is a fabulous Christian historical novel. It is the second book in The Jonah Cycle series but can be read as a stand-alone. I recommend reading book one first for maximum enjoyment.

This book blends fact and fiction as its’ roots are in history. The masterful pen of Kirby Lee Davis brings the past to life. All the characters are fully rounded, springing to life for the reader.

The action is fast paced as we follow various skirmishes between good and evil. Uniquely we witness the scenes and hear the narration in the first person from the perspective of a lion. He stands apart from the humans as he witnesses their faith in action.

We see that life is always a battle between good and evil. We need to tie our colours to the mast and say a big yes to our Maker.

Though a beast of the field, the lion “saw the heart of the Maker” in the humans. When God lives in us, His light shines through us.

The Prophet And The Dove by Kirby Lee Davis

To Aid Understanding

The Prophet And The Dove by Kirby Lee Davis is an epic story of the familiar biblical tale of Jonah. It is the first book in The Jonah Cycle.

Kirby Lee Davis has put legs on the well-known story of Jonah. Extensive research enables the tale to come to life. There is much that is familiar and with comprehensive descriptions the reader ‘walks’ through the action.

We learn about the heart of God and the importance of obedience. “When the Lord says go, you do not cast off His hand for lack of directions.” God will provide enough light for the step we are on. We can trust Him to guide us the rest of the way in His timing.

Wicked men come under the scrutiny of God. The Old Testament has some brutal and blood thirsty scenes.
