A Must Read

The title of this book sums up it's contents. It has taken the well loved 23rd Psalm from the Holy Bible and broken it down line by line. It begins with 'The Lord is my Shephard.' Following that sentence as well as every other sentence in Psalm 23, is a 'most wonderful' analogy, (short story) coupled with select scriptures from the Bible to reinforce the story. All the analogies use real sheep with real shephard's, as in a Fable. But, the meaning 'drives straight to the heart' of young and old alike, us being Jesus' Sheep, and him being our Shephard.Each chapter supplies questions, and easy projects for the family to do together, making this an excellent family devotional book also, should you choose to use it that way.The recommended ages are 4 - 8. However, I think age 2 to adult would find it interesting. Would be a great help for new Christians with children, as well as mature ones.This is the book that our 19 year old daughter says she wishes she had when she was young. Our 14 year old son, enjoys it as well, as he can directly relate to the stories, and helps him to stay focused on God, as opposed to himself. Our 8 year old daughter 'loves' this book also.The simplistic artwork is beautiful and the pages interesting and uncluttered.I wish every Christian knew of this book and had a copy to keep and share forever.
