Product Description
What you see is not always what you get - and this true story of a man and his dog is no exception. Woven just under the surface of this simple parable, Keller presents profound spiritual truth. It is the story of Lass, a worthless animal thought to be untrainable, who becomes a magnificent and valuable sheepdog - not terribly unlike how God's love can transform our worst characteristics into blessings that serve to further His Kingdom. Allow yourself to see Biblical truth in this classic tale of what can happen when you yield to the Master.

 Great perspective March 18, 2008
Reading this book helps you to understand about our caring Master thru' the eyes of a shepherd and his sheep dog. We sometimes have the perspective that God made a bunch of rules to make our lives miserable, when really He is a loving God who desires only the best for us, just as the shepherd did for his sheep dog. He sets guidelines for our safety, our happiness, our ability to serve others in a better way, to have a close relationship to our creator, etc. This perspective of a loving shepherd, while viewing and guiding his dog, can be compared to our Shepherd caring for us. I highly recommend this book! We had great discussions while reading this book together. (w/ my teens)
Sheepdog Christianity January 7, 2008
I've read this book, and found it delightful. I've given it, along with the "Shepherd Looks at Psalm 23" to pastors for their ordinations. This particular book is a great analogy to our growth learning to trust, listen and obey Christ, and let go of the distractions of the world. It was deeply and practically insightful, yet simple enough I could read it for worship with children and they enjoy it as well as understand the deeper lessons as well. Very well done. Highly recommended.
We are the sheepdog December 22, 2007
A beautiful allegory that clearly illustrates our growth as Christians. We start as lost and disobedient, then through the gift of the Holy Spirit and the process of sanctification we become eager obedient servants of our God. I want to be the sheepdog.
Small book- big lessons! December 21, 2007
This was the first book I chose for the Christian women's book club at my church. It offers a wonderful array of lessons from which we can all learn.

Loved this book - a wonderful story of Love through the eyes of a shepherd. Lass is a sheepdog who is abused and unloved. Her transformation when she is loved by her master is a picture of our transformation when we receive God's (our master's) love.
