Overview
Ellie just wants to play. She wants to run, fetch her ball, frolic across the farm — the usual doggie things. So, when she learns there is a day each week meant for rest instead of romping, she is not happy about it. Not even a little.
But with the help of an older, wiser dog and her Papa, Ellie discovers that God’s Sabbath is not about taking her fun away. It is something better. It is about putting her heart in the right place and learning how to show others just how much God loves them.
A gentle, honest story for young children about rest, faith, and why slowing down once a week might be the best part of the whole farm.

Description
Ellie Discovers the Sabbath is a children's story about a dog who wants nothing more than to play, run, and frolic on the farm, and who feels genuinely mad when she learns there is a time to rest as well as a time to play. Through an older, wiser dog and her Papa, Ellie comes to understand that God's Sabbath is not about taking her fun away. It is about putting her heart in the right place and showing others how much God loves them.
