Cat and Dog Theology: Rethinking Our Relationship with Our Master. Living Passionately for the Glory of God

I first heard Gerald Robison present the Cat & Dog Theology presentation 2 years ago at a Perspectives class at church. Since then I have had the pleasure of seeing it twice more and I have read the book. This is a book you want to read! It is a book to read because as a Christian in America, you really don't understand just how ME focused you are until it's laid out for you. The main premise is that we should focus on GOD'S glory, not our own comfort and pleasures. It also discusses how God is focused on His glory all throughout the Bible and spreading His glory to the nations, although we tend to skip over these passages when we're reading them because they're not about us. And it's true! I mean, Christ told us to DIE TO SELF. Do we really even know what that means? I really don't understand the negative reviews of this book. Now, I'm not going to say that this book isn't convicting and hard to read at some parts, because it is. But you should read it for yourself and make your own decision.

I have to disagree with a couple of the reviewers on this page. This is an excellent book with points to challenge your comfortable way of thinking. Yes, they take a "one sided" view, but they admit that - they are focused on a problem in the American church and unless it is well defined, we cannot correct it. I found this a very challenging read - not that it was difficult to read, but rather, it challenged my selfishness. That was hard to take. Hopefully, I have expanded my actions to be less selfish as a result of this book. I highly recommend it!

Am I a "cat Christian" or am I a "dog Christian"? Am I looking at life from my perspective or God's? Is everything for my glory or His? This book revolutionizes the way you look at everything! Get it, use it personally and in your small groups. I recommend it to everyone I can.

Great book on getting our focus back to what it should be. Very fun, creative approach to a very tough subject. It is a wonderful book written for our time (and all time). America's churches will do well to take heed in glorifying our Maker like He deserves to be glorified.

When I was introduced to the concepts presented in this book I was dumbstruck with awe at how incomplete our understanding of who God is and His plan for mankind especially in America. Fellow Christians, this book will help remove the scales from your eyes and put a fire in your belly. If you truly love the Lord and want to know Him and make Him known read this book!
