Publisher's Summary
Rest & Refreshment: Are You Getting Enough? And How Important Is It REALLY to God?
Solomon Powell inscribes Shepherd Despised as an “S.O.S. call to repentance written especially for pastors, missionaries, and sold-out disciples of King Jesus.” He writes not to those content to warm the pews, but to those most on his heart: those who love and are completely committed to the God of the Bible. Those who want the full joy that comes only by walking in total obedience to His heart. To this audience, the author offers his straightforward assertion: We cannot live in full surrender to the God of the Bible as Master if we neglect Him as Shepherd.
After some introductory surveys, the key exegetical section of the book includes an straight-forward exposition of Psalm 23 (with exegetical notes from Keil and Delitzch, Kidner, Ironside, Keller, etc), working from the claim that this perhaps over-familiar psalm is actually primarily about God's desires, not ours.
Critic Reviews
"This book could change your life. This book was an extreme blessing and challenge to me and is greatly needed in the Christian community, especially among those in ministry. Sometimes we feel that the more we exert ourselves in the ministry, the more we please God when the truth is that as our Shepherd, He understands our humanity and our needs, which include times spent in rest and refreshment in green pastures and besides the still waters. As Powell zeroed in on what the very familiar 23rd Psalm is really saying, God spoke to me in new ways. I was personally challenged as never before to think about what it means to let God be my Shepherd in every area of my life, including over my time and even how I eat. Why would I not want to make God in all of His love and wisdom guide every aspect of my life?"—Diane Hawkins, M.A., President, Restoration In Christ Ministries
