Book ReviewA Shepherd Looks at Psalm 23, by Phillip KellerThe idea of a shepherd overseeing his flock is a powerful metaphor of the relationship between God and his people. Unfortunately, today's world has largely lost touch with it's agrarian roots, missing much of the deeper meaning of a shepherd's watch and care over his flock. A Shepherd Looks at Psalm 23 takes an interesting and insightful look at the 23rd Psalm from the perspective of a shepherd, who is also the author. By learning how a good shepherd protects, cares, and provides for his sheep, we can gain a better understanding into how our Good Shepherd cares for us, his sheep. Furthermore, as we learn about the sacrifices Keller made for his sheep and the ways in which they benefited -- generally oblivious to his loving efforts -- we gain insight into God's sacrifices for us to keep us safe from enemies, healthy from maladies, and content in our existence. Sometimes, though, sheep thwart the shepherd's efforts; in this regard, Keller again shares from his experience, in which we see the loving patience of the Good Shepherd emerge. Reading this book will appreciably change the way you read Psalm 23. Read more Movie Reviews and Book Reviews |
