A study of Psalm 23 illustrated by pictures of the shepherd life in the East. The habits and customs of Palestine are clearly portrayed here and are most helpful for an understanding of the images that this Psalm calls forth. Important lessons of the walk with the Shepherd can be learned in this book.

This book provides readers with a highly informative perspective on shepherd life in Palestine. Since most don’t understand what shepherds did back then, its verse by verse commentary helps bring insight to what David wrote in Psalm 23, giving it more substance on a personal level in one’s walk with Jesus Christ.

Slemming shows how Jesus, our Good Shepherd, cares for us, just as the shepherds of ancient times lovingly tended their flocks.
