Before you were born, God was thinking about you and making plans for you. The things you love are a window into God's heart and how very one-of-a-kind He made you to be! Kate Loves Dogs will open your eyes to see some of the wonderful ways God wants to be known by His children as we discover and embrace what we love. Kate's four-legged friends are a perfect example of one of the ways God expresses His love and shows her what He is like. Beth Lyons If you ask Beth Lyons what she does, she would answer, "I'm a grandmother.". What she is is what she loves to do. With her grandchildren living nearby, she is blessed to observe firsthand an open door to God's heart. Luke, Kate, Claire and Burk are the invitation to enter that door. They inspire her stories and Kate Loves Dogs is her first to be published. Beth lives in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, with her husband, Pat, and their hound dog, Louie.
