The Adventures of Amazing Amos is a short collection of children's stories loosely based on the antics of a spirited and loveable Great Dane once owned by the author. Her dog was often the center of attention and not necessarily for good reasons. But he was always loved despite his misgivings. In this collection, what makes Amos so amazing is that he receives grace no matter what he does. Amazing Amos is adopted by a family who loves and cares for him very much. The family tries to train him and curb his appetite for mischievous and silly antics. After arriving at his new home, Amos endlessly finds new ways to get in trouble. The family sends Amos to obedience school, the circus, and the Army desperately hoping the training he receives will help him settle down and behave. But no matter where he goes, Amos's playfulness takes over, and he starts a commotion. Whenever Amos gets in trouble, a golden halo appears over his head as if asking for grace, and like the author's dog, he is always forgiven. Amos is eventually introduced to Mandy, another Great Dane. Amos is enthralled with her, while Mandy lovingly puts up with him. Over time, Mandy instills a sense of peace and calm to everyone's delight. The book describes, in a way relatable to children, the role forgiveness plays in our lives. Through the wonderful grace God extends to each of us every day and through Jesus Christ, we are all forgiven.
