Song of the Shepherd

This title is now out of print

Of all the psalms written by King David, the most popular and well-known is Psalm 23, yet its very familiarity may lead us to miss its beauty and fail to hear its message. This book shows that the picture of the loving shepherd and his sheep speaks profoundly about how we can relate to God. It invites us to enjoy a relationship of intimacy and grace, finding true peace and contentment as we learn to depend on him day by day.

Song of the Shepherd examines the psalm verse by verse and can be used either for individual reflection or for group discussion (questions provided). It covers key issues in discipleship for both new and mature Christians - learning how to rest in God, learning to trust him through the difficult times, and learning how to live from the resources he provides.

The book contains an introduction and twenty chapters in four parts:
Part 1: Building a relationship
Part 2: Learning to rest
Part 3: Learning to trust
Part 4: Learning to live

This title is also available as an eBook from Olive Tree.
