Book Description
No one expected Barley to have an encounter with the Messiah. He was homeless, hungry, and struggling to survive in first century Jerusalem. Most surprisingly, he was a dog. But through Barley’s eyes, the story of a teacher from Galilee comes alive in a way we’ve never experienced before.
Barley’s story begins in the home
of a compassionate woodcarver and his wife who find Barley as an
abandoned, nearly-drowned pup. Tales of a special teacher from Galilee
are reaching their tiny village, but when life suddenly changes again
for Barley, he carries the lessons of forgiveness and love out of the
woodcarver’s home and through the dangerous roads of Roman-occupied
Judea.
On the outskirts of Jerusalem, Barley meets a homeless man and petty criminal named Samid. Together, Barley and his unlikely new master experience fresh struggles and new revelations. Soon Barley is swept up into the current of history, culminating in an unforgettable encounter with the truest master of all as he bears witness to the greatest story ever told.
My Thoughts:
The Dog Who Was There is a beautiful story by Ron Marasco. When I read the description of this book I was drawn into the story. Ron Marasco writes with authority about the Bible, Jesus's journey, the others that followed Jesus, and the history behind all of it. I loved the fact that this story is written through the eyes of Barley, a dog who finds himself homeless and ends up encountering Jesus. I enjoyed Ron Marasco's writing style, I really felt like I was there with Barley on his journey and his version of this part of the Bible. A unique perspective that I found myself drawn in from start to finish. I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys Biblical Fiction. I cannot wait to see what comes next from Ron Marasco. I give this book 5 STARS.
