Gruff

No hope, no future, and apparently no life was what Gruff had going for him, according to his family. Gruff exists in a constant state of physical and emotional abuse, because of this, he sits utterly alone, seemingly abandoned by life; yet, through everything, he always wonders if what he was being told by the community is true."You cannot stop what has now started..."FOREWORDGruff is about an older reclusive character, discarded by his family andcommunity, as he surrenders in despair, accepting that his circumstancesare deserved and that he is born for the sole existence of all the ridiculethat he continually received.From this simple beginning, he will be brought to an absolutely amazingadventure, seeking the meaning and purpose of this life from God, HisCreator.The interactions among the characters of this book make for enjoyablereading, and there is a clear message of the purpose and sovereignty of whyGod created both man and the animal kingdom.The book clearly defines the gospel of Christ and how God moves inHis majestic power over the affairs of His wonderful creation.We are more like Gruff oftentimes that we would like to admit. Gruffhas a clear message to all of us and that we are here for a far greater purposethat we oftentimes are not remotely aware of.Dr. Harley HowardPhD MinistryPhD Christian Education
