Safe in the Shepherd's Arms is the type of writing I have grown to love an expect from Max Lucado. It is a beautifully illustrated, beautifully written book. Interspersed between each verse of Psalm 23 is a story, cross references, a poem or a quote from one of his other books to illustrate the meaning of the verse. If one comes to this book for scholarly exegesis, forget about it. This is not the book for you. However, if you approach this book for what it is, a book packed with explanations and illustrations of Psalm 23 that a layman will easily understand, this is a wonderful, worthwhile book.

I have read virtually all of Max Lucado's books. I never tire of reading his works. Safe in the Shepard's Arms is excellent considering that my wife and I go through the entire Bible each year (since 2007). This includes a com-

plete walk through Psalms TWICE! We also read Proverbs 12 times each year. Much of Max's references include passages from Old and New Testaments which we recall from past readings.

I adore this book. I have given it away countless times under happy and sad circumstances. Good for those who are young and mature in their relationship. a blessing for all.

This is a beautiful book, in content and presentation. Something I will read again and again. Max Lucado is an exceptional writer and delivers again.

I am only disappointed because I adored the original "Safe in the Shepherds Arms" I have bought at least 25 of those little books as gifts to my friends in hospital, personal grieving, or mothers whose sons were in Iraq. I always added the little "ty" baby sheep named "Fleece". Oh how they all loved it! I still have at least five more to share but cannot find any more. So sad! So beautiful! Bring it back, Max.
