This book is a collection of some of the more famous and not so famous stories about animals in the Bible, the lives of Catholic saints, and instances in the author’s own life. A sprinkling of theological reflection and biblical commentary helps us not only become more familiar with these amazing stories, but also appreciate how God sometimes uses his creation to draw us closer to him and help guide us to the life he wants us to live.
“God Saw That It Was Good is not a book merely about animals. It is a book about the mystery and wonder of God, who as Law reminds us, is revealed most visibly through his creation. This is a delightful book that will open the eyes of the reader to God’s presence in new and exciting ways.”
—Fr. Jeremiah Myriam Shryock, CFR, author of Amid Passing Things
“Although Brant didn’t include nearly enough about the best of all the animals (dogs, of course), the stories, history, and anecdotes in these pages are sure to bring a smile to your face and a greater appreciation for all God’s creatures.”
—Fr. Matt Garrison, Pastor, Sacred Heart of Mary Catholic Church; Chaplain, 188th Air National Guard Wing
“This book offers a unique perspective, with biblical and practical wisdom reflecting on animals both symbolically and literally. I am impressed with the research and thankful for the message.”
—Charles R. Miesner, DVM (Doctor of Veterinary Medicine)
