Excerpt from The Song of Our Syrian Guest
A Godspeed is fitting as a pilgrim after much journeying fares forth once more; and such is this little book. Of the memories that hover about the pen writing these lines, one only may have place on the page. It is of a day when this word came from a mountain village: "It has shown me the shepherd as a savior and the Savior as a Shepherd." Because some who will look upon these pages are in sick-rooms, some are lonely being companioned only by grief, some are poor, some for the time are misunderstood, some are rich and allured by many voices, some are discouraged and feel that they are little loved, some are young and cannot fend their way, and some are old and way worn - because all have need of the Shepherd's care, go, little Book, once more, bearing this token only.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the profound meaning and imagery of the Twenty-Third Psalm, offering a fresh perspective rooted in the ancient shepherd culture of the Holy Land. The author, drawing on personal experiences and cultural insights, guides readers through the psalm's verses, revealing the shepherd's role as a protector, provider, and guide. Through vivid descriptions of the rugged landscapes and daily challenges faced by shepherds and their flocks, the book illuminates the psalm's metaphors with striking clarity. The "still waters" become tranquil pools created by the shepherd's hand, the "valley of the shadow of death" echoes the dangers of treacherous paths, and the "rod and staff" represent both guidance and defense. This exploration goes beyond mere interpretation, revealing the timeless message of God's unwavering care for his people. Whether facing hardship, uncertainty, or simply the weariness of life's journey, the shepherd's presence offers comfort and assurance. Ultimately, the book reminds us that God's love and protection extend to all aspects of our lives, leading us toward a place of peace and everlasting security.
