Candy the Rescue Dog

Does the routine of everyday living make you wonder if God truly sees and cares for you as an individual? You may grasp in theory that God loves all humanity, yet doubt His personal attentiveness to the details of your ordinary life.

In this book, Deborah shares profound moments when God intimately connected with her, reaching into the depths of her heart to communicate His unconditional love. His method to convey this timeless message? An anxiety-ridden rescue dog named Candy.

God knew this lovable canine mischief-maker would be the perfect instrument to reinforce Deborah’s inherent worth and value. Through humorous stories of Candy’s antics and the ensuing spiritual insights, Deborah unveils how God used an unwanted dog to powerfully transform her perspective.

These engaging true stories serve as encouragement for anyone longing to understand God’s complete, unquestionable love for them. Deborah reveals how intricately God orchestrates moments of divine connection for those who seek Him amidst the backdrop of routine. Her poignant reflections highlight how the Creator actively pursues intimate relationships with His beloved children.

Deborah Wills (née Eland) was born in 1960 in the city of Ipswich, Queensland, Australia. The family moved to a dairy farm south of Gympie in 1970, where her spirit of adventure began to take hold. Riding her horse or roaming the pastures on foot became favourite pastimes. The family relocated to Brisbane in time for Deborah to commence her High School Education, during which she accepted Jesus as her Lord and Saviour.

After leaving Pine Rivers State High School in 1977, Deborah went on to study Dentistry at the University of Queensland while continuing her love for Tap, Jazz, and Ballet dancing. In 1982, she graduated with a Bachelor of Dental Science and a Teacher’s Diploma in Tap Dancing.

Deborah met her husband Paul Wills through the youth group at church. They married in 1983 and now have four wonderful daughters and four precious grandsons. These days, her life is that of a wife, mother, grandmother, cook, gardener, landscaper, and stock controller extraordinaire! Her favourite activities include line dancing, sewing, bird photography, and Mahjong.
