Straw for Stray Sheep is a refreshing study of arguably the most beloved passage of Scripture in Christendom--the twenty-third Psalm, which the author calls the People's Psalm. In an era when relevance and significance are the buzz words of a global culture, the book highlights the story of a former shepherd who finds much contentment in his new status as a sheep of another Shepherd. The Shepherd whose care he willingly endears himself is none other than the Lord God Almighty.In professing his Shepherd's love and care for him, the new sheep apparently ignores the existence of other sheep belonging to his new Owner. So he comes across as the only sheep in the Master's sheepfold. This is David's fascinating posture in Psalm 23 that Straw for Stray Sheep uncovers and defends by urging the public to accept the lone-sheep motif as the truth of God's relationship with each of His children.The work concedes the mind-boggling concept of one sitting comfortably to partake of a meal in the presence of one's enemies. But it quickly points out the unlimited power of God in protecting, providing for, and preserving everyone who trusts Him by faith for His name's sake.In a nonthreatening language and step-by-step approach, Straw for Stray Sheep presents its author's take on the twenty-third Psalm in four parts. The reflection section at the end of each chapter helps and challenges the reader to look deeper into the text and make an honest assessment of his or her walk with Christ.
