Featured Reviews

I appreciate the level of research and time that went into this book. I thought they would read more like devotionals and less like journal entries with field experience and interviews, but it was still an interesting read. I liked how many perspectives were reflected.

This would be the perfect book to read along side with your Bible study for Lent. With 40 reading you can read one each day for lent. I enjoyed reading about his travels and would definitely recommend this book to my Bible study friends to read!

Was this review helpful?

This book had nice insights into shepherding. However, I was a bit put off by the “authors translation” version of Bible passages throughout. I was hopeful that this would be a great Lent devotional, but I struggled to truly sense that it met the mark.

This was a delightful short book of 40 short reflections on leading and being led. It wasn't quite what I expected. If you are looking for a morning devotional, I think that this is a great option.
