Not Just For Cat-Lovers!

I bought Good Mews as soon as it was released because I have an animal loving 12-year-old daughter. We don't own a cat, but we have a dog we love a lot! I found that much of what Kitty Chappell says about cats really speaks to the heart of any animal lover. So many of her cute stories reminded me of our dog. And the lessons learned apply to all people, not just cat lovers. So even if you don't like cats, you'll still love this book! Also, my daughter LOVES Good Mews. We are reading it as her nightly devotion. The lessons Kitty learns from her kitties are entertaining and easy enough for a child to understand, yet profound enough to impact one's life. This is a book for all ages! You've got to get it--and buy one for a friend! It's a great gift book.

A lovely book to share.

Kitty Chappell takes the ordinary circumstances of life - for example, house cats - and skillfully, humorously and supernaturally elevates them to a priceless, eternal-life lesson. Though I sat down, intending to read just one little story, this "page-turner" found me glancing up at the clock a half-hour later!
Good Mews is also a lovely book to share. It's been my joy to ‘gift’ a dozen or so family members and friends. Now that they have also been captivated by the contents, their friends are receiving gifts of Good Mews!

Reads on many different levels.

Good Mews, dedicated to Kitty Chappell's husband of 47 years, invites and delights the reader from beginning to end.
Kitty Chappell writes from her heart about her love for cats and about the lessons she has learned from them. She ties her feline-lessons to pertinent lessons from our loving God. The lovely, small gift book brings visual joy with every page; not only are the stories powerful, yet powerfully simple, but also the pages are filled with very subtle, soft and furry pictures of kittens and cats playing, preening, and probably purring throughout the book. Some actual photos of Kitty and Jerry's cats are in the mix!
What a wonderful book for anyone who loves cats (and dog-lovers, too)! Kitty has a gift of drawing the subtlest of messages from her experiences with her feline friends. We glean soul food from: Kitty’s lessons learned, the playful kittens on the pages, the exciting "cat quotes" from a huge variety of people (some easily recognizable, some historical figures, and some simply "anonymous"), and the carefully chosen and very appropriate scriptures.
Finally, Good Mews reads on many different levels, so you may share it with a child who will delight in the pictures and the content of the surface stories; however, you may personally find many deep and profound lessons of life as you burrow into fur-filled comparisons with the compassion and, sometimes, gentle censure of our loving Father, His dear son Jesus, and our companion, the Holy Spirit. Fortunately, rather than Kitty's messages being "in your face religious," she speaks with a subtle, funny, gentle, and very soothing voice. I love this dear book, and I trust you will, too. Treat yourself to an evening or two of luxurious, delightful, and downright fun reading; then, if you can bear to part with the book, share it with a friend.

Brings back memories

Every story in Kitty Chappell's book brought back a memory of things, places, pets & people in my life that have made a difference. Regardless of who or what, God was in control of ALL. Thank you Kitty for the memories and tears.

I felt challenged to look inside myself.

I enjoyed every page of Good Mews by Kitty Chappell. Sometimes I laughed and sometimes I felt challenged to look inside myself to adjust my attitude. I loaned my book to friend and she enjoyed it so much she didn't finish reading my copy but purchased her own. She plans to share the book with her granddaughter. Actually I'm a dog lover, but I couldn't resist these cat stories.

My whole spirit was uplifted

I loved reading about the different purrrrsonalities of Kitty's many lovable cats. They so amewsed me with all their many antics which put me in a very happy mood. My whole spirit was uplifted while reading the very accurate biblical references made throughout this delightful book.

A delightful, beautifully illustrated book.

Good Mews is a delightful, beautifully illustrated book from the beginning to the end. All the stories of each "kitty kat", the spiritual and inspirational thoughts carefully put into story form, are good for all ages. The adorably designed cover is purrrrrrrrrrrrrrfect and goes so well with the title - and I love the colors. This book is a treasure and a great gift for family and friends.
