Since firelight first illuminated gathered faces, people have told stories; their listenersmight laugh, be moved to tears, horror, delight, or new understanding. Stories createcommunity, share values and beliefs, sweeten wisdom with humor. Stories become part ofa family’s inheritance. Shepherd Stories is a collection meant to be part of thatexperience for children ages 4-10.These stories were collected from two shepherds. The first shepherd loves and cares for aflock of sheep. Each evening, he calls his lambs together and tells a story which respondsgently to the lambs’ experiences that day. The second shepherd, the Good Shepherd, alsotold stories. His stories have been compiled in a big book; each of the lamb’s stories ismatched with a story from that book.Shepherd Stories Volume 1 includes tales of a cricket who loves to sing but learns thatcareful listening might save his life, a beaver family that builds a home where they aren’twanted, and a girl who loves a pig and receives a surprising gift. Paired with each tale is aBible story that tells of a similar experience: Moses learns how to really listen to God, Peterand John preach where they aren’t wanted, and a man suffering from leprosy receives amiraculous gift.Each pair of stories includes discussion questions to guide 'digging deeper' into meaningand personal application. This is the perfect book to enjoy together at bedtime, quiet time,or in a classroom.Shepherd Stories Volume 1 is part of a five-volume set of engaging stories about badgersand foxes, honeybees, pikes, crayfish and horses, sheep, dogs, a trustworthy bat, acourageous mouse, and many more.
