About My Boy, Ben: A Story Of Love, Loss And Grace
Product Description My Boy, Ben is the true story of a young man's journey with a yellow Lab named Ben. That young man was international tennis star David Wheaton. A touching portrait emerges of an inseparable bond between a man and his dog. Their story, marked by devotion, humor, and unexpected turns, shares an uplifting message that the God of all grace offers strength and hope in our most trying times. Review My Boy, Ben spoke straight to my dog-loving soul. It is a poignant, engaging, tug-on-your heartstrings story that leaves you better for having read it. I couldn't put it down. --Nicole Notare, Editor Guideposts Magazine In over 30 years of breeding, competing and showing, I have never read a book that so beautifully captures the highs and lows, twists and turns of sharing life with a beloved dog. --Donna Reece, Two Time Best of Breet Champion, Westminster Dog Show David Wheaton has written a deeply touching story that uniquely unveils God's amazing grace. Enjoy the book and it's hope filled message. Pastor Troy Dobbs, Grace Church --Pastor Troy Dobbs, Grace Church From the Inside Flap My conversion as a dog owner took place almost immediately after Ben came home. Here I thought I was getting a dog to find and flush pheasants during the fall hunting season in the Upper Midwest. Confirming that intention was the outdoor dog run that had been constructed in our yard in anticipation of his arrival. Dogs live outside, after all. At least that is where our family dogs had always lived, for as long as I could remember. Ben was different, much different. He would never spend a night in that pen. In fact, it was soon dismantled and removed, which provided the first clue that I had changed. Or rather, that I had been changed simply by the presence of a different kind of dog that didn't demand in-house residence but rather just seemed to belong there.It didn't take long for me to realize that I had received something far more than a dog. Rather, I had been blessed with a year-round, life-enriching relationship that would expand my boundaries of joy and sorrow and help me understand poignant lessons about life and faith.This is the story of my boy Ben. It's a story about love and loss. But mostly, it's a story about grace. About the Author My Boy, Ben is David Wheaton's second book. David also writes for the Minneapolis Star Tribune and hosts a nationally-syndicated radio program. A former professional tennis player, David and his wife live in Minnesota with their son and two Labrador Retrievers.
