Ever chased after the dream of starting life anew? When Cory Parker becomes emotionally detached from his argumentative parents and totally disillusioned with a lukewarm church, he leaves home to establish his own independence.
In the midst of tumultuous struggles, Cory finds profound satisfaction in a job working with lion cubs, a rewarding encounter with nature, allowing him to nurture two innocent and loving creatures, while creating the bonding experience of a lifetime, an enjoyment which he shares with the love of his life.
Caressing Lions is a tale of faith, perseverance, romance, and a love of lions as Cory gradually learns to engage with the most powerful lion of all, the Lion of Judah.
