The Gospel According to Sam is a collection of thirty "animal stories for the soul," written by William Miller, a priest whos considered to be one of the best preachers in the Episcopal Church. The "Sam" in the title is Millers Airedale, a lovable, "wounded healer" of a dog who survived a house fire that burned off his ears but couldnt extinguish his spirit. Sam becomes a vehicle for healing, humor, adventure, spiritual growth, and prayer for Miller and his parishioners. Sam isnt a typical warmfuzzy, feelgood animal stories book, however. Miller writes with an earthy sense of humor and a Southern voice that has the reader laughing out loudthink of Molly Ivins, but with the voice of faith and prayer added in for good measure, and a low tolerance for sickly sweet theology. But then he slips in the zinger that cuts through the laughter and goes for the soul. His meditations arent limited to Sam or even just dogs birds, pigs, squirrels, rabbits, fish, bugs, and even yaks feature in his stories. An honest awareness and appreciation of the depth and breath of life are hallmarks of these real life adventures and thought provoking reflections.
