Framed as a failed love affair with a small church in rural north Georgia, Barbara Brown Taylor's journey from city to country, from full-time ministry to university professor, and urban dweller to part-time farmer is insightful, humorous, and wonderfully human.
After ten years in a big urban church, Taylor arrives in Clarkesville (population 1500) to discover that she is one of the few professional women in town as well as the only woman in charge of a congregation. After five and a half years, she finds herself with "compassion fatigue," and when an offer comes to leave the church for an opening at a local college, Taylor jumps at the chance, despite her reservations. Ultimately, Taylor realizes it is still possible to "keep the faith," although not in a way that jibes with traditional Christianity. Barbara Brown Taylor was ordained in the Episcopal Church in 1983. A frequent guest preacher and teacher at churches and universities across the country, she was named one of the twelve most effective preachers in the English-speaking world by Baylor University in 1996 and resigned from her parish soon thereafter to accept an endowed chair in religion at Piedmont College. She lives on a working farm in rural Habersham County, Georgia with her husband, Ed. "A fiercely honest and gracious book about our primary vocation to be human. Here the reader will find an awesome reverence for mystery. This book comes as a refreshing challenge to reconnect with the longings in the depths of the soul. Many will read this book with relief and recognition." - Alan Jones, Dean of Grace Cathedral, San Francisco, and author of Reimagining ChristianityBinding Type: Paperback

Entertaining and durable
Size: Large
Great toy and quality. My dog that was a bit of a ruffian with his toys loved this toy. It lasted through his wild days so I bought my current baby one. Unfortunately she hates it. She wants the ball trapped inside but hates the sound of the outer and won't go near it or even let it touch her. Granted she is a bit...eccentric. All larger dogs I have ever seen with one love it. It is very durable. Really serious chewers may need supervision but average big chewers should be fine.

It is surviving a Mal Pitty and Shepherd
Size: Large
Two handles for them to carry with. Squeaky toy that my shepherd Mal or Pitty hasn’t gotten out so far after five weeks.
Plays with it constantly. Starting to see small chunks come out but longest lasting most played with toy they’ve ever had.

Great but my dogs tear up the handle
Size: Medium
My dogs love this toy. It squeaks and is fun for fetch. The only downfall is my dogs are able to chew pieces of the rubber off the handle and try to eat it.

Great toy!
Size: Large
This is the best Torrey I’ve ever bought for my dogs! I bought two of them and they both love them! One is more of an aggressive chewer so this is perfect. It’s very durable. They both love that that rolls it has a handle, it has a ball inside and it squeaks so it keeps their attention for a long time and it’s extremely durable best toy ever.

Get the ball!
Size: Large
I have 2 cattle dogs. One blue heeler and one blue heeler/aussie mix that is blind and completely ball crazy. We have gone through a hundred balls over the years and this is by far the best. It can be kicked (with think boots not running shoes), thrown, or rolled by the dog if you have one of those types. One of my dogs is a chewer and he hasn't put a dent in it, in months. The ball bounces when kicked/thrown and makes that odd noise when its hit just right so its extra entertaining for the dogs but also let's our blind dog know where its at. Can't say enough good things about this ball, worth trying for sure! It's also easy to drop in the creek, sink or tub to rinse off.
