Customer Reviews

Excellent

This book brings a refreshing view to not only the 23rd Psalm, but life in general. It is one of the best spiritual books I have ever read with a keen sense of informing the reader of how the Christian journey evolves through a lifetime. Mr. Lively does an excellent job of equating personal experiences with the meaning of the 23rd Psalm, and how most of us get it wrong initially but need the shepherd to continually guide us. I highly recommend reading this book.

Psalm 23: A closer look

Robert Lively brings the 23rd Psalm to life with stunning clarity, fresh ideas, and a common-sense approach for everyone to enjoy. He reveals some of his own encounters with God, family, friends, and even those who seem to bring him torment and turmoil. This is a book you buy to enjoy, and you KEEP - to enjoy again, and again. Buy this book!

The Goodness and Mercy of God

With candor, Bob Lively writes as a gifted pastoral counselor. He weaves the best of theology, psychology and recovery from a pastor's heart. Dr. Lively's life and gift of writing bring hope along with God's 'goodness and mercy.'

Bob Lively classes and his books are worth the time!

To read Bob Lively's books to to hear him as he writes as he talks. Although this Psalm has always been a favorite of mine I never studied its meaning, I just merely enjoyed it. This book taught me more about this Psalm than the many sermons I have heard about it. His stories wrapped around this Psalm is worth the money and the time to read it.

Mystery Solved

I had the priviledge of reading this book before it was published nationally. Before reading it, Psalm 23 was a very familiar verse but had no real meaning for me - more like a comforting Christmas carol than anything applicable to daily life. After reading this book, I developed a whole new dimension in my faith and understanding of God's love for us. Bob Lively takes Psalm 23 line by line and relates it to his own profound experience of discovery. With his humble style and genuine story, he makes Psalm 23 tangible and meaningful. What once was a mysterious prayer is now something personal which guides and strengthens me daily. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in the concept of grace and experiencing the profound realization that they are loved unconditionally.
