Synopsis

You are not the first sheep to follow the Shepherd; and you will not be the last.

For 3,000 years, people of faith have found meaning and comfort in the 23rd Psalm. This widely known song has had an impact across time and culture. But in the twenty-first century, this psalm appears idle. For many, it only serves as a short reading at the end of funerals. How did this happen?

Most books about Psalm 23 focus only on the interpretation of the author and many offer only perspectives of modern Christians. Lost Shepherd seeks to enrich the meaning of a passage many Christians believe is almost "too familiar" to appreciate. This book is the perfect cure to break Psalm 23 out of the category of nostalgia and return it to relevance in our daily lives by looking far into the past.

Lost Shepherd allows listeners to stand with the sheep who have gone before, revealing a better look into the face of our Shepherd. Each chapter examines a line from the psalm and discusses how it has encouraged devotion over the centuries and continues to feed our souls today. Rediscover lost interpretations and consider how Psalm 23 can form your spirit, serving as a source of wisdom for a new generation of Christians.

Goodreads review by Lucia

Non mi era mai capitato di leggere un libro devozionale con questo taglio, e adesso mi domando stupefatta perché questo genere non sia più diffuso. A onor del vero, non so nemmeno se possa essere corretta la definizione di "libro devozionale", perché se non fosse per alcune pagine di pura spirituali......more

Goodreads review by Kayla

I don't think I will ever read Psalm 23 the same again! Fugitt does a tremendous job in tracing Psalm 23 throughout history and giving insights into what early church fathers believed about the Psalm and how it applies to us in the 21st century. This book is probably in my top five for this year!......more
