Meek Like a War Horse: And Other Stories to Ponder Sam Whatley

"Sam Whatley's vignettes show the intersection of our lives with eternity. Some are spiritual perspectives on animals, such as alligators, woodpeckers, squirrels, and snakes. Some are profound thoughts to ponder. These stories make us aware that each moment of our existence echoes down the long halls of eternity."

-Alan Sewell, novelist, author, and book reviewer






"This book of captivating anecdotes is an adventure. I highly recommend it for anyone seeking to draw closer to the triune God, who is full of surprises, beauty, and wonder."
