Woven just under the surface of this simple parable, Keller presents profound spiritual truth. It is the story of Lass, a worthless animal thought to be untrainable, who becomes a magnificent and valuable sheepdog not terribly unlike how God's love can transform our worst characteristics into blessings that serve to further His Kingdom. Allow yourself to see Biblical truth in this classic tale of what can happen when you yield to the Master. Average Rating:

The Birth to Five Book: Confident Childrearing Right from the Start Rating: - Loved it!Halfway through this book I flipped to the back cover to see whether the author's email was there... and was disappointed to find out that he's no longer around!

He sets guidelines for our safety, our happiness, our ability to serve others in a better way, to have a close relationship to our creator, etc. This perspective of a loving shepherd, while ...

This particular book is a great analogy to our growth learning to trust, listen and obey Christ, and let go of the distractions of the world. It was deeply and practically insightful, yet simple enough I could read it for worship with children and they enjoy it as well as understand the deeper lessons as well. Very well done. Highly recommended. Rating: - We are the sheepdogA beautiful allegory that clearly illustrates our growth as Christians. We start as lost and disobedient, then through the gift of the Holy Spirit and the process of sanctification we become eager obedient servants of our God. I want to be the sheepdog.
