The Comfort Dog Gave Me Pink Eye: Lessons from the Book of Esther

"Courtney Burns, in The Comfort Dog Gave Me Pink Eye, immediately made me laugh, then brought me back to the moments of crisis that led to Esther joining our staff. When I finished wiping away my tears, I continued to smile, laugh, and cry a little more throughout this compelling story. This is an emotional and hilarious feel-good story of the influence a comfort dog like Esther can have on a community in crisis or one that simply needs the everyday love a dog can provide." --Daniel Buikema, Assistant Principal and Counseling Director, Faith Lutheran High School "There are a thousand things that God is doing in the background of your life that you aren't aware of. If you've never experienced God in your life, this book will surprise you. It's also a ton of fun! Courtney, Esther the orange dog, and Esther--a hero in the Bible--will show you the way. If you're new to the claims of God and if you're looking for vision in your life--read this book!" --Tony Schwartz, Next Step Pastor, Verve Church, Las Vegas
