A Shepherd Looks at Psalm 23 Author:W. Phillip Keller Phillip Keller's unique perspective on the beloved psalm is a genuine classic about how a real-life shepherd views the love Jesus the Shepherd has for his flock. His inspirational insights come from his firsthand experiences in developing and managing sheep ranches.
This is such a different look at what might well be the most over used Psalm in the Bible. Many of us just repeat the words we memorized when we were young. This book taught me there is sooooo much more in 23 Psalm. This book is amazing.
This book helps us relate the shepherd and the sheep to the Father and us. There are so many incredible things that we have incommon with sheep...great one day read!
I will never look at Psalm 23 the same after reading this book! It is a must read for all Christians. The author's perspective from a shepherd's viewpoint is so enlightening and creative. My teenage children loved hearing about what the sheep were up to every chapter!
At first sight, this book apears to be a quick light read. It is anything but quick and light. It reminds us on our dependence on God and his love and protection.

Who better to unfold the rich meaning of the psalm of the Great Shepherd than a shepherd who knows his sheep and who, in the heat of summer and icy cold of winter, has guarded them, fed them, led them into safety and watched over them from birth?
These comforting and strengthening insights into God's loving care for us have warmed hearts and homes throughout the world, and have established this book as a firm favourite.
