"In an easy to read writing style, Keller shows a great many ways we are so like sheep, more than I imagined or expected. In each chapter he uncovers how a line from the famous Psalm relates to the life of a sheep and then beautifully highlights another reason to be thankful for God's care of us." — Josh (4 out of 5 stars)
