Cold Noses At The Pearly Gates
A great comfort to me and all whome I am associated with.  Thank you Gary  for writing it. --Terry Hickey, Founder, Halton/Peel Pet Loss Support GroupI read both of Gary's books and experienced great joy and blessing. --Dr. Jack Van Impe, TV Evangelist letter of September 2001WINNER OF FAITHWRITER'S.COM SEAL OF APPROVAL FOR "OUTSTANDING READ".Losing a pet is a very difficult experience for most pet owners. The  isolation one feels when dealing with this specific kind of grief can be  overwhelming at times. After all, most people seem to think, 'it was only  an animal.' Gary Kurz, author of Cold Noses at the Pearly Gates, wants you  to know you are not alone. Not only are there others who understand your  intense feelings of loss, but there is also reason for great hope.In the introduction to his book, Mr. Kurz explains that it was the loss of  his beloved Chihuahua, Pebbles, that led him to research the concept of  animal afterlife. In the wake of Pebbles' death, a friend reacted to Kurz's  grief with the cold response of someone who has clearly never shared a  close relationship with an animal. Her sarcastic remark about "doggy  heaven" led Kurz to turn to the Bible for comfort and understanding of what  had become of his cherished Pebbles-and we should all be glad he did.The result is a book offering great comfort and peace to anyone, young or  old, who has ever lost a pet. No, there isn't a doggy heaven. In fact,  there is only one Heaven and it is a place where we will all live together.  All of us humans and our lost, but not forgotten, pets.Mr. Kurz leads the reader through a convincing analysis of the spiritual  state of animals. Do they have a soul? Yes. Are they loved by their  Creator? Yes, indeed.    Mr. Kurz explores several other topics in the book that I found quite  thought-provoking. In one section he proposes that animals will have the  ability to speak in the afterlife. Initially, even I (a diehard animal  lover myself) reacted with skepticism to this concept. But, once I read  what the author had to say on the subject, it seemed a natural, logical  assumption. I looked at my dog and half-expected her to open her mouth and  talk to me.Cold Noses at the Pearly Gates is an incredibly well researched book  offering true and lasting peace for individuals coping with pet loss. The  author's concern for his readers is made evident throughout the book. He  wants you to know you are not alone and that the Word of God offers you  hope in your grief and salvation through Jesus Christ. I would recommend it  to all animal lovers. --Terry Wilson, Faith Writer's Book Reviewer, February 2007I read this fabulous book.  It is brilliantly written, sensitive,  heartwarming and uplifting.  It will bring you hope and comfort. --Susan Peterson, Hollywood ProducerThank you for your book and for the gracious inscription. --White House, First Lady Laura Bush letter of April 9, 2004--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
