The Shepherd's Life

Real-life shepherd James Rebanks shares a behind-the-scenes look at a life spent caring for sheep in this fascinating memoir. But more than that, he offers a view of life lived in connection with the created world and the people who have gone before us. Because of the many sheep/shepherd metaphors in the Bible, I am fascinated by sheep, so I was delighted to gain a deeper understanding into their ways But this memoir also helped me understand the importance of a good shepherd and gave me a deeper appreciation for God as my Good Shepherd.
