Celebrating its 20th anniversary,
The Gospel According to Sam
is newly revised and updated with brand new stories of joy, love, and hope surrounding the Fearless Earless Airedale, Sam.
is a collection of “animal stories for the soul,” written by William Miller, a priest and storyteller with an earthy sense of humor and a southern sensibility that has you laughing out loud. Sam is Miller's Airedale, a lovable, "wounded healer" of a dog who survived a house fire that burned off his ears but couldn't extinguish his spirit. Sam becomes a vehicle for healing, humor, adventure, spiritual growth, and prayer for Miller and his friends, neighbors, and parishioners.
Heartwarming and thought—provoking, Miller’s meditations on life and faith aren't limited to Sam or even just dogs; birds, pigs, squirrels, rabbits, fish, bugs, and yaks feature in his stories. Twenty years after it first released,
is still touching reader’s hearts. Featuring new stories of people who found God through Sam, dogs that have been rescued in his memory, and the sermons of him still being preached, the book brings people together in ways that only animals can.
