Loved the book. Such a great look at the Psalm. The reader was a little difficult to listen to but not too bad.

[mrslee_1 · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This book changed the way I perceived God. I knew in my head that God would never discard me, that salvation is by grace and not works, but through this book, God made that idea real to my heart. My love for Him abounds with no reservations.

This is the best book I have ever read. Phillip Keller’s first hand experience of what it means to be a shepherd helps to get a profound understanding of this beautiful and be loved Psalm.
I love it so much that I recommend it to my Sunday School class/community group. We are about to begin a book study on it. So I just ordered a dozen copies from Christianbook.com.

Unique insights from the actual shepherd-sheep relationship and how this relates to the enduring words of Psalm 23.

[vigilant20 · Rating: 1 out of 5 stars]

This is the first book in a long time that I picked up and just could not force myself to finish reading. It started with a lot of convoluted trinitarian thinking and launched into a very tedious breakdown of Psalm 23, phrase by phrase..where even the most basic ideas required long winded explanations to prove.

[Rebecca · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

For anyone looking for a book to help you grow in your trust and surrender to Jesus, this book will aid you in that process. It helped me to see why I can entrust myself to Christ's care. Well written, insightful, and helpful.

[Adriana Lilley · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

An amazing book that all Christians should read! The Lord is my Shepherd, Amen!

[TrevorLeoBarnhart · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This is a wonderful eye opening, in depth look at how we can respond to this important chapter in Psalms) I highly recommend this book

[Theresa Hofstetter · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This is an excellent book, and this audio version is particularly good. The narration is very professional and his slight country drawl lends itself very well to the subject.

I found this book very comforting and a source of real peace. The author’s insight into the lives of sheep brings much depth to this beloved Psalm.

[Matt Crain · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

What an encouraging and insightful description of this psalm! Grew my faith in Jesus immensely.

[Jean Wan Chen · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

If you don’t like breaking things down in detail, you might as well turn away now, don’t soil this book by leaving a bad review simply because you don’t have the attention span to sit through something that takes a little peace and patience to get through.
For those who can appreciate the “long winded explanations”, this worthwhile book is a treasure.

The Lord! But who is the Lord? What is His character? Does He have adequate credentialsto be my Shepherd—my manager—my owner? ~ W. Phillip Keller, A Shepherd Looks at Psalm 23Every person who claims to know the 23rd Psalm should read this 173 book. Find out what it really means for a sheep to lie down in green pastures. Discover what the “table” in the presence of enemies refers to for the shepherd.Never again will I speak a phrase of the 23rd Psalm without thinking of the pictures planted in my mind by this little book. It has given me a feeling of truly being loved and cared for by the Lord, my Shepherd, in the midst of his flock.Learn the depth of meaning of this so often quoted Psalm from the experience of a shepherd.

[aethercowboy · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

"The Lord is my shepherd," starts the 23rd Psalm. And then it goes from there.It was because of this first line, though, that the Australian shepherd, Phillip Keller, decided to take a look at what this was all about, and what it meant to him, as a shepherd.Keller is admittedly a layperson when it comes to great theological mysteries, so instead of delving into the deep significance of cups runneth-ing over, he instead looks at it in a more simple light.If you are interested in biblical studies, and would like to augment your understanding of the 23rd Psalm, then this book may be of interest to you.
