About this ebook

One woman’s impulsive foray into sheep herding provides an unexpected education in God’s shepherding love for His people.

Sharon Niedzinski and her family never expected their lives to change so quickly. It all started with an unsolicited call from their realtor—their dream farm had come up for sale. A new life in an old farmhouse seemed like the perfect adventure. As Sharon fixed up the house, she looked at the green pastureland outside, and a new theme emerged: “New England Countryside.” She ordered a flock of white Columbia ewes to match the Waverly plaid wallpaper, matching curtains and blue carpet. She had no idea what she was in for...

While dealing with orphan lambs, tail cuttings and foot rot, Sharon began to experience firsthand the amazing truths buried in the many Scriptures referencing God as our Shepherd. Through hilarious, heart-tugging stories, the author tells how those truths radically changed her life and brought her closer to our hard-working, sweat-stained, real-life Shepherd—Jesus.

Ratings and reviews

Excellent book! Well worth reading and meditating on the truths of Psalm 23 - how much we are like the stubborn, wandering, self-focused, and helpless sheep in great need of a loving, patient Shepherd to guide our lives. Heart warming, funny and sobering stories!
