From the back cover of Better Than Our Dogs:

Good dogs are obedient, loving, loyal, protective, and friendly. They honor their masters, bark only at the right times, and inspire us to be better through heroism, perseverance, and selflessness. Dogs have weak moments, too.They poop blue, jump out of car windows, and, at times, might be nicknamed the “Devil Dog.” Better Than Our Dogs uses funny and engaging stories to illustrate timeless lessons from the book of James.Each chapter offers practical advice, challenges readers to determine which dog they are most like, and encourages everyone to be better today. Better friends. Better people. Better followers of God.

From the back cover of Man Na:

Man Na is not just another devotional. 

Each day, the typical devotional offers a passage, hopes it inspires, and waits for us to return for another dose of motivation. When the next day arrives, God is expected to feed us with more manna once again.

Man Na, on the other hand, has a secret ingredient that not only fills us up, but creates lasting fulfillment.

What is its secret?

Salt. Man Na recognizes we are not only called to only fill our own tanks, but are designed to be salt for others through service, kindness, forgiveness, friendship, humility, gratitude, happiness, and love. This devotional helps us to stop focusing inward and start concentrating on others throughout the day. 

By providing readers with God’s bread and His desire for us to be salt for others, Man Na offers what other devotionals do not. So, grab your shaker and get ready to become what God intended.
