Phillip Keller's book Lessons from a Sheep Dog provides a comprehensive analogy between a shepherd and his sheep dog, and Jesus and man. Keller is a real life shepherd who adopted a wild dog call Lass. Through observation of how Lass grew to trust him, to being a faithful partner in his work, Keller saw how we grow to trust Christ, and can truly partake in His work. Keller takes us through the changes that we need to make to become obedient to, trusting in, loving of, and available for Christ.
I must admit, the parallels run deep in a very unforced manner. I didn't get bored, and I never felt like the symbolism was stretched beyond straightforward Biblical doctrine. The book is only 540 locations long, so you can read it in a few hours. If you want a light read that inspires you as to who you can be in Christ, or if you want to give someone a simple book to encourage them in their personal discipleship, then you'll like this book. If you want deep theology and an intellectually challenging scriptural analysis then you'll want to read something else.

I love Keller's writings and Lessons From a Sheep Dog was no disappointment. With gentleness and transparency the author shares his lessons in life that only God can teach . . . through a dog. This easy read makes for the perfect morning devotion.

Loved it! July 2, 2008

Halfway through this book I flipped to the back cover to see whether the author's email was there... and was disappointed to find out that he's no longer around! I wanted to tell him what a wonderful book this was.
Being a dog lover, I've always learnt much from my own dogs. This book expresses what I feel in my heart - that dogs are a great example of how we can be good followers of Christ and please Him in the things that we do. The author talks about discovering the sheep dog in shackles when he first sets eyes on him, just like how we are when God comes to rescue us.
Very simple yet powerful. These days we are very busy doing big things for God, and this book reminds us that our faithfulness in the small things is often more important.

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)
