The Good Shepherd

Forty Biblical Insights on Leading and Being Led

Timothy S. Laniak,

About this book

Shepherding is the single most important image of leadership in the Bible. From actual shepherds such as Moses and David to the apostles calling early church elders to pastor their flocks, biblical leadership is embodied in the humble, vigilant, everyday work of shepherds.

To better understand this metaphor, Tim Laniak spent months among Bedouin shepherds in the Middle East. Combining this rich cultural experience with careful biblical study, Laniak offers 40 short readings that explore every leader's responsibility to provide, protect, and guide. Each reading begins with observations from Laniak's travels, continues with investigations into Bible stories about shepherding, and concludes with what this means for you in your own spheres of influence, whether in the home, church, or neighborhood.

As a follower of Jesus, the Good Shepherd, you too are called to be a good shepherd of the sheep in your care.
