Great read

Quick read and scripually sound. Very good insights

Sweet story

I loved this book so much I purchased several copies for my friends. This is an excellent story which profiles a sheepdog condemned to a horrible life, then rescued by a shepherd to do the job she was designed to do. The story parallels and describes the relationship God desires with us and as we love and trust Him, he reveals our Godly gifts and purpose.

So good that I came back to buy more to pass to my friends. Beautifully written and a simple yet pe

This is a well written easy to understand book for anyone who is searching for a closer relationship with God.

What a fabulous book!!

Lessons from a Sheep Dog

Be sure to get this little book to go with "A shepherd looks at psalm 23". It will open you eyes to your relationship with our good shepherd and it may put you to shame as to how willing are you to follow His call.

Must Read!

Philip Keller does a wonderful job of drawing a connection between how a sheepdog relates to its owner and our relationship with God. EXCELLENT witnessing tool. I own 60 sheep and am actively involved in herding and training herding dogs. Philip's analogy's are right on the money. I have bought several of this book to give to herding friends.

Such a great book

This book should be read by anyone who has a animal. It is so heartwarming and loving. And the tie between God and nature is so strong. I loved it. All kids should read this book. Teeens too.

Very inspirational

Mr. Keller is one of my favorite authors. He did not disappointment me in this book. He takes his usual everyday situations and shows how the Lord's Word relates to it. His illustraions are powerful and easy to understand and relate to. This helps him to get the reader to understand Bible truths in a different way. I would recommend this book to anyone that would like to be inspired. This is one that is defintely staying in my library.

An inspirational book that we can all learn from.

I found this book fascinating. I didn't want to put it down. This dog was thought to be worthless and untrainable, but with love he turned into a magnificant animal. It taught me a lot about unconditional love.
