This is actually a volume of 4 books in one, so I think I should get the "credit" for reading more than one book here. ;-)

Especially when there isn't one page that hasn't seen the use of my highlighter. There are lots of anectdotes in this book, but it's not a story book. It's more exegesis. So take your time and enjoy it as you would if you were eating a gourmet dinner. Give yourself lots of time to taste everything thoroughly and digest what is being said.

My best advice is the word "Ponder". If a sentence or thought strikes you, STOP. Reread that particular part again. Or if you find you've suddenly started skipping or skimming certain parts, it means you're brain is on overload and you've got a lot to think about.
At some point you will want to own this book. Abundant and full and never dry, although Keller used to be a shepherd in Africa. Let your soul be restored, just like the orginal shepherd, King David, who wrote that beautiful Psalm 23 long ago and that started Keller on his own writing career all those years ago.

But ultimately, take the time to let the Lord work through this book and draw near to you as you draw near to Him. Learn what it means to be a little lamb, often lost, fearful and rather stupid, but ALWAYS loved by our heavenly Shepherd.

A mixed bag as most combined books are. The writings on Psalm 23 were exceptional. The rest of the book was average; relying too much on alliteration and the reader’s kindness not to throw the book (and author) off a bridge. Yes, I know Keller has passed…

I absolutely loved this book. All four writings were challenging and inspirational to me. His writing was down to earth yet so scriptural sound. Very glad I read this!
