Scattered Sheep: For Those Prone to Wander - Paperback

by Rich Stevenson (Author)

We all love the idea that "The Lord is my Shepherd and I shall not want." But the truth is that many of us live in or near "the valley of the shadow of death." We live just like the hymn writer described: "Prone to wander, Lord I feel it. Prone to leave the God I love." Scattered Sheep is written for those who know about the ditch of denial; those who know how it feels to be entangled in the thorns of confusion, discouragement or anger. This book is written for someone who has fallen. And here is the most wonderful truth you could ever imagine: Falling doesn't have to end in failure. Scattered Sheep is an up close and personal look at the fall of Peter. We see his presumptuous pride, his frail flesh and his dark denial. But the greater storyline is what a Good Shepherd Jesus really is when we fall. Just like it says in Isaiah 40, Christ gathers us in His arms and holds us close to His heart.
