From The Shepherd s Staff is a book that captures the written reflections of a pastor to his congregation. These reflections are devotional material designed to bring the Bible, the newspaper, and life s challenges together in a comprehensive fit, showing spiritual and alternative ways of viewing what continuously happens around us every day. These words made it to paper because there is some subject matter that requires more time for proper and extensive discussion than Sunday morning worship allows. Because of their broad impact, these personal reflections extend from the congregation to the community at large. This book also allows a significant peek into the life of a shepherd and his flock, and also serves as a primer on how to integrate one s Christian witness into the larger society."
