Portrays shepherd life in the East from Psalm 23. Few people are acquainted with the habits and customs of Palestine, so they fail to obtain from the Scriptures the first lessons they are meant to... This description may be from another edition of this product.
CW Slemmings' books answer all those old testament questions that you have always wondered about ... he explains the feasts of Israel as they prefigure Christ in "Thus Shalt Thou Serve", the layout of the temple as it applies to salvation in "Made According to Pattern", and further expounds on our salvation in his book about the priestly garments entitled "These are the garments". In this precious book he shows us how Jesus, our Good Shepherd, cares for us, just as the shepherds of ancient times lovingly tended their flocks. His writing style draws one in and is easy to understand, at the same time Mr Slemming makes very deep connections between the old and new testament that will astonish and comfort you. These books were my first introduction to the synchronicity between the Old and New Testaments, and I would recommend them to anyone interested in the Old Testament roots of Christianity.

The other review appears to be misposted. This book, written for Christians, provides readers with a highly informative perspective on shepherd life in Palestine. Since most don't understand what shepherds do, it's commentary helps bring "color" to Psalm 23, giving it more substance on a personal level in one's walk with Jesus Christ. An excellent book!
