Customer Reviews

Blessed assurance - He is the ultimate Shepherd!
What a new and wonderful perspective Max Lucado shares with us on the always-known and frequently-recited 23rd Psalms. But what fresh insight... even for those of us who have heard it all our lives! He takes each verse of this marvelous and beloved text, and dives deep between each phrase, even each word, to uncover meaning we likely never considered before. A breath of fresh air has been given to an ancient but living Word. I don't think David could have said it more succinctly.

I read this little gem on an airplane (which was having considerable trouble with turbulence) and felt completely comforted. We could all use a refresher course in feeling safe in the Shepherd's arms!

Delightful!

Compiled from Lucado's Other Books
A wonderful lady in my church lent me this little book by Max Lucado. The words are very comforting, very readable. I can understand why so many buy multiple copies to give to family and friends. It's a little piece of encouragement in this dreary world. However, it must be noted that the book is not an original work. It is a compilation of excerpts from Max Lucado's other books organized on the framework of Psalm 23. Most of the time it works, but occasionally a passage may have only a tenuous connection to Psalm 23. That doesn't make the book bad, but an avid reader of Max Lucado will have read these things before. If you looking for some kind words to share with a friend or if you yourself need a simple word of grace, this still might be the book for you.

Refreshing
Max Lucado has produced another fine peace of work "Safe in the Shepherd's Arms" This peace of work is absolutely refreshing, and it is a great look at the 23rd Psalm and what it means. At times the 20th Century Christian can loose focus and get caught up in a tidal wave of emotions, stress, and pressure, however it is comforting to know, as this book expresses, that in Christ there is always hope, that when the day ends...Christ is always there. While there were a few statements and scriptures that were not used in the right context, it was not enough for me to put down the book, the overall work of the book was encouraging, thought provoking, and inspiring.
