"I was first introduced to this title in a Sunday School class a couple of years ago and it's been on my to-read list for a while. An in-depth look at Psalm 23 from a man who made a living as a shepherd. I love all of the insights that you would never had understood by just reading the text of the Psalm, i.e. "He anoints my head with oil" - shepherds in Biblical times would mix spices with oil and rub it on the sheep. This would keep away pests that could drive the sheep to ram their heads against trees. There's also a beautiful home-away-home theme."

    " Such an interesting look at this very familiar passage. I have never really understood what it means to be a shepherd or a sheep for that matter, but this is definitely an interesting take. "

    " Although quoted by many, the familiarity of this text has caused many people to miss the power behind David's message. Keller shows this is a psalm of confidence/assurance of David that God watches over those whom belong to Him. In this book Keller does a great job of dissecting this psalm that we may digest it and gain spiritual growth. "

About W. Phillip Keller

W. Phillip Keller (1920–1997) always loved wildlife and the outdoors. Born in Kenya to missonary parents, he spent many years in agriculture research, land management, and ranch development in British Columbia.

About Maurice England

Maurice England moved to the Chicago area in the fall of 2006, after a twelve year run as a long-haul trucker, to continue the cultivation of his lifelong interest in the expressive arts and oral interpretation. A veteran audiophile, Maurice listened to well over one thousand audiobooks while on the road and fell in love with the genre. From his past experience in broadcasting, community theater, music performance, and ministry he saw narrating as a means to merge his love for books, ideas, learning, and spiritual evolution with his interest in artistic expression. While his narration experience has primarily been nonfiction, personal development, and spiritual-growth titles, Maurice anticipates using his authentically warm and folksy southern style to entertain and inspire through storytelling. Inspired most by the behind-the-scenes artists who engineer, direct, edit, and master the audiobook productions we hear, Maurice has become an absorbed student and participant in the process.
