Author Frank Gray Hill's Newly Released "Walks with Buddy (And Reflections on Christ and Church)" is a Book of Contemplative Essays Conceived During Outings With His Dog
MEADVILLE, Pa., Sept. 18, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- "Walks with Buddy (And Reflections on Christ and Church)": a journal of peaceful contemplation on life and faith. "Walks with Buddy (And Reflections on Christ and Church)" is the creation of published author Frank Gray Hill, a native of Norfolk, Virginia, and one of five children raised by his mother, who was widowed when her children were very young. He is a lifelong member of Miles Memorial United Methodist Church.
Frank shares, "This book, 'Walks with Buddy (and Thoughts on Christ and Church)', actually started out as a collection of short stories I submitted to my church's newsletter, the Miles Post. My church's name is Miles Memorial United Methodist, which is located in Norfolk, Virginia.
The stories began in 2009 when I became the finance chair at my church. I found that while walking my dog, Buddy, I began having many thoughts about my surroundings, and many seemed to pertain to being finance chair as well as the church. With Buddy by my side, I had many interesting reflections, but I wasn't always sure where they were coming from, as I had never been a very religious person, so I decided the ideas were coming from Buddy himself.
I adopted Buddy on September 11, 2008, and I can honestly say he has really changed my life; he has a heart of gold! Nobody has ever been a stranger to Buddy, this being especially true for when my mother was in the hospital as well as the assisted living facility. The love Buddy had for my mother was the same love she had for him.
My mother was my inspiration in turning my little stories into a book to honor her. I am using my book, 'Walks with Buddy (and Reflections on Christ and Church)', not only as a fund-raiser for my church but also as a way for everyone to get to know Buddy and maybe be drawn closer to Christ and their own church as well."
Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Frank Gray Hill's new book is a celebration of the joy and peace afforded by canine companionship and the quiet moments that draw us closer to our faith.
