Helpful Score: 1
I'd be pleased to re-read portions of this book while waiting in the lobby of a Christian business or at my in-laws' for the weekend; I'd be disappointed to receive it as a gift.
Interesting anecdotes for leisure reading, colored with some Christian commentary at the end of each story. I found the book a quick, easy, and entertaining set of zoo-keeper stories. However, it was not quite as insightful and profound as the endorsements from well-known preachers and authors would lead one to expect. Mr. Richmond certainly is an effective story-teller; the subject matter is lively; the spiritual connections are appropriate. When I finished, though, it wasn't a book that I planned to keep on my bookshelf.
