Book excerpt: We can see ourselves as the rescued lamb who makes amazing discoveries on the way . . . that we are not just "creatures," but have a special name . . . "Precious." We are not orphans alone in the wilderness, but we belong to someone . . . someone great . . . the Shepherd, and we can call Him by His name!It takes a while for the lamb (and us) to realize that our safety on the journey does not depend upon our cleverness or strength, but on the presence of the Shepherd. Along with the lamb, we learn that when we take our eyes off the Shepherd and run ahead of Him - we are in big trouble!Now, at first glance this may seem to be merely a children's story - but it is not. Profound lessons can be learned through simple truths. This is a "family book" with hidden spiritual meanings. I can picture a father or mother sitting with their child and reading the adventures of Precious, helping them understand Psalm 23. Then, after the children are safely tucked in bed - they pause . . . Selah . . . and think about it.This is my story . . . I am Precious to God and so are you.
