Book Description
What does a woman with five ex-husbands and a live-in boyfriend have in common with a greedy tax collector? They were both black sheep from the Bible who were sought out by the Good Shepherd. Throughout the gospels, Jesus seemed drawn to people on the fringes of society, and went to great lengths to find them. There are members in the body of Christ who still suffer from the "black sheep" complex. The single mother who has experienced more than one failed marriage, the recovering alcoholic who still struggles with his addiction, and the heartbroken spouse of a cocaine addict will know exactly what the "black sheep" complex is. Often these people suffer in silence, unable to discuss these real life issues with other Christians. That person may be sitting in the pew next to you. That person may even be you. In this book, the 23rd Psalm serves as an outline as we take a closer look at the heart of the Good Shepherd from the unique perspective of the black sheep. Join these misfits from the gospels and their contemporary counterparts as they finally discover their place in living day to day beneath the Shepherd's grace. Within His grace is a place of joyous belonging and perfect peace for anyone who has ever believed they never really "fit in" anywhere.

Book Description
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1845 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER III. THE SHEPHERD RECOVERING THE STRAY SHEEP. PSALH xxiii. 3. HE RESTORETH MY SOUL: HE LEADETH ME IN THE PATHS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS FOR HIS NAME'S SAKE. Health is the gift of God, but it fails; grace is strong and cleansing, but nature is weak and corrupt. The Psalmist's experience, therefore, not only leads him to expatiate upon the precious privileges which belong to the sheep of Christ, but it reminds him of another branch of his Shepherd's care, the restoration of the wanderer. Whatever our health of body may be, would God that our corruption did not so often lead us away from His pastures, to follow paths that end in bitter pain and correction! But so it is. The sheep of Christ have indeed green pastures and calm retreats. They are privileged to lie down beside the waters of quietness, none disturbing them. But that which the Shepherd knows to be best, the sheep do not always consider, and the children of God are too frequently found astray. In such a case it is that the mercy and faithfulness of the Church's Shepherd appears. "He restoreth my soul" Of all the attributes of God, the most marvellous, because it is the most unexpected, and, to our ways of thinking, the most irreconcileable with His greatness and essential holiness, is His long-suffering. That God should punish rebellion is only compatible with His perfect purity and justice. That He should pardon the rebel, through the infinite work of His Son, is the prodigious unfolding of perfect love. But that he should renew this day by day, that He should go after those who wander away from Him into selfpleasing ways and sins, and that He should restore the backsliders, --this is the climax of all! and we ought to be humbled at the thought. Our views of this are cold and...

Book Description
Have you ever wondered why David chose to portray the Lord as his shepherd in Psalm 23? Is that all he is portraying Him as in the Psalm? What exactly does David mean by “I shall not want”? What is “the valley of the shadow of death”? If you crave an in-depth analysis of the deeper meaning of these expressions and wish to savor the poetic beauty of Psalm 23, this book is a must-read for you. King David is one of the most fascinating figures in the Holy Bible and He was an exceptional poet, musician, and songwriter. In Psalm 23, he captures the beauty of nature and combines it with his unshakable faith based on his relational experiences with Yahweh. From the historical context when David wrote the psalm, David was a lost sheep—on the run from king Saul, became a nomad going from town to town to survive. He was a black sheep—his was overlooked by his own father, and his brothers were angry with him for his bravery in the face of Goliath’s defiance. But he was also a safe sheep—through it all Yahweh, the Lord, was with him to keep him safe from danger, and ultimately made him king. Whichever category you fit in—whether a lost sheep, black sheep, or a safe sheep, you can still put your trust in the Lord as YOUR Shepherd to guide and protect you always. THIS IS BOOK IS A DAY’S READING FOR A LIFETIME OF FAITH—A Must Have!!!

Book Description
Logos Bookstores' Best Book "The Lord is my shepherd." Thus begins the most beloved of all Psalms—and thus begins a thousand-year journey through the Bible. Prophets, apostles and Jesus himself took up this image from David, reshaping it, developing it and applying it to their own situations and needs. Kenneth Bailey uses his celebrated insights into Middle Eastern culture and especially his familiarity with Middle Eastern shepherding customs to bring new light and life to our understanding of this central image of the Christian faith. With each of nine major Old and New Testament passages, Bailey reveals the literary artistry of the Biblical writers and summarizes their key theological features. His work is also enriched by his unique access to very early Middle Eastern commentaries on these passages, bringing fresh understanding from within the mindset of these ancient worlds. The Good Shepherd invites us to experience a rich, biblical feast of ethical, theological and artistic delights.
