Covering everything cat owners need to know, this practical guide to looking after the most popular pet in the United States is the perfect reference for any cat lover. The Complete Cat Care Manual provides detailed information on the day-to-day care of kittens and adult cats, including feeding, training, handling, exercising, essential equipment, and grooming. Detailed chapters outline the reasons behind behavioral problems, such as eating houseplants and scratching furniture, and provide tips for changing unacceptable behavior. Health problems are completely detailed with anatomical diagrams, diagnostic charts, and illustrations that identify symptoms and treatments. Step-by-step instructions teach all the techniques needed to nurse a sick animal or administer emergency first aid. Hundreds of remarkable color photographs, specially commissioned for this book, detail every aspect of a cat's life. The material is based on extensive research. Dr. Bruce Fogle, a leading specialist in pet behavior, has observed hundreds of cats during his years a veterinary surgeon. He identifies how cats communicate through posture, body language, facial expressions, "speaking" (meowing and hissing), and rituals like rubbing, swatting, and grooming. He discusses the differences between learned behavior and instinctual action, the importance of a cat's sensory perceptions like smell, touch, and sound--and when a cat's eccentricities are due to genetics or are merely a matter of individual temperament.

A Vision of Pastoring That is Rare but Inspiring
Format: Kindle
No one has been more helpful to me from afar in church planting and pastoring than Eugene Peterson. His vision of pastoring is inspiring but increasingly rare in the church growth landscape of the Evangelical industrial complex. “The pastors of America have metamorphosed into a company of shopkeepers, and the shops they keep are churches. They are preoccupied with shopkeeper’s concerns—how to keep the customers happy, how to lure customers away from competitors down the street, how to package the goods so that the customers will lay out more money.” In this book, Peterson offers up an alternate view—a biblical view—of the work of the pastor: prayer, reading Scripture, and offering spiritual direction. This work is modest work—hard work—but it is the good work God has called us to.

Excellent
Format: Kindle
An excellent work on the essential shape of pastoral work. A very convicting and important read for those who work in ministry- prayer, scripture, and spiritual direction will never be demanded of us, but are non-negotiable in order to maintain our call.

A must read for any pastor or spiritual leader
Format: Paperback
This book is profoundly insightful and easy to read and understand. It is not heavily theological (and does not need to be). It is practical. I have purchased an additional copy to give my pastor for his birthday. If he has already read it, he can pass it on. EVERY pastor needs to read this and practice these tips, which many do not receive in seminary. THIS is the type of pastor I want and need (and my pastor does embody much of what Peterson describes). I think pastors should read this every year or two to reassess their progress toward keeping these goals always in mind and in practice as much as possible.

A still timely writing for all pastors
Format: Paperback
Although first published 25 years ago, Peterson addresses a matter that is still timely, the need for all pastors to commit themselves to prayer, reading scripture and spiritual direction. These, Peterson asserts, are an essential foundation for all other aspects of ministry. Peterson's premise, that many pastors have abdicated their primary calling to these three practices, is still very relavent to the current state of pastoral ministry. Its content will be useful for new and veteran pastors alike.
