SHEEPISH: LIFE LESSONS FROM PSALM 23
Before
he was king, David was a shepherd. As he spent his days and nights
looking after sheep in the desert, he learned some of life's most
important lessons. This great future leader learned that he was,
before anything else, a sheep in God's pasture, under the shepherd's
care.
Years later, after many victories and many defeats, he put these
life lessons into words. Psalm 23 is David's manifesto. His creed.
His statement of faith and purpose. It's a summary of life's most
important lessons.
Sheepish by
Steve May unpacks Psalm 23 verse-by-verse, showing how to experience
the fullness of life in the presence of a caring Shepherd. Learn how
to find contentment, discover peace, fulfill your purpose, experience confidence, enjoy abundance,
and live in expectation.
Each
chapter concludes with questions for further reflection and to-do
list for putting these principles to work in your life. This is a
great resource for group study, sermon series, and personal
devotionals.

Comes Trouble: Prepare to Win Life's Biggest Battles.
Jehoshaphat was a good king. He worked hard and with integrity to
lead God's people God's way. One day, from out of nowhere, three
enemies formed a mighty alliance and came together to attack the
nation of Judah. Jehoshaphat and his people didn't stand a chance
... until they called upon the name of God. This three part study
demonstrates how we can follow Jehoshaphat's example in the face of
trouble to find victory through the power of God.
