It can be very comforting to know that the animals we love so much are safe with God, who created and loves them. \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Throughout his many years as a Franciscan friar, Jack Wintz came to know--the Bible gives us many clues--that we will be with our pets in heaven for eternity! St. Francis himself shared a close relationship with animals, preaching to the birds, releasing Brother Rabbit from a trap, or letting Sister Raven awaken him for early morning prayer. Franciscan spirituality tells us that all creatures form one family of creation, and God's plan of salvation includes the whole created world. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThis new, expanded edition of the original bestseller includes: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e Wisdom from Friar Jack in 14 short and simple readings \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e Blessings, prayers, and stories from Scripture \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e Special presentation page to personalize the gift \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e Adorable photos and short memories of beloved dogs \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSections of the book include: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e Three Prayers of Blessing \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e The Happiness Principle \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e Noah, the Ark, and the Dove \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e Jonah and the Whale \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e The Song of St. Francis \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e Jesus and the World of Creation \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e Praying with Creatures \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e The Soul of a Dog \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e With it reassuring message of God's eternal love and care for all creation, \u003ci\u003eI Will See You in Heaven\u003c\/i\u003e helps us to know that we are not alone in our grief, and that our \"goodbye\" is not forever. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Cover photo: Hollie Betzler (2001-2018), Michigan's first grief therapy dog, served faithfully at her family's funeral home and area nursing homes for 16 years, giving a comforting paw at just the right time to just the right person.
