Summary: a parable from man's best friend
Review: A fundamental failing piece of detail about this book is the author's total repetitiveness with words and ideas. Not all so bad if you read a little, leave it and come back to it later, but with the size and length of this book, that's probably unlikely. It's quick and easy to read all the way through when the total number of pages is below a hundred. But it is a wonderful story and it illustrated many key points that stuck with me. Opening my mind up to a different perspective that makes sense. Touching the heart because of the familiarity generated from my own experiences in small animal husbandry I've had ever since I was a kid. One valuable point I took away from the text was a different interpretation about what it means to fear the Lord contrary to Old Testament viewpoints. By the author's account, to fear God is to have such a loving respect for Him as to be afraid of bringing Him grief or disappointment. Even with its draw back, this story is not all so bad; it does make quite a few good points. Those who love animals and/or own a pet of any kind will definitely enjoy it, because it warmly relates to that special bond of friendship between human and animal. A healing and teaching connection that comes over time in the development of companionship, trust, obedience and perception from choosing and caring for a pet.

Summary: An inspirational book that we can all learn from.
Review: I found this book fascinating. I didn't want to put it down. This dog was thought to be worthless and untrainable, but with love he turned into a magnificant animal. It taught me a lot about unconditional love.

Summary: Great book on working relationships, for anyone
Review: Keller tells the story of his search for God's presence in his life trough an engaging story about his working relationship with his first sheepdog Lass. Well written, it was a quick read that I finished in one evening. The parallels between Keller and Lass and Keller and God are well thought out. I also enjoyed this book from the view of a manager. Keller wrote the book about the working relationship between God and man through the story of his dog, but, I found most of the ideas translate directly to managing of people. Good read. I highly recommend this book.

Summary: Such a great book
Review: Mr. Keller is one of my favorite authors. He did not disappointment me in this book. He takes his usual everyday situations and shows how the Lord's Word relates to it. His illustraions are powerful and easy to understand and relate to. This helps him to get the reader to understand Bible truths in a different way. I would recommend this book to anyone that would like to be inspired. This is one that is defintely staying in my library.

Summary: Must Read!
Review: Philip Keller does a wonderful job of drawing a connection between how a sheepdog relates to its owner and our relationship with God. EXCELLENT witnessing tool. I own 60 sheep and am actively involved in herding and training herding dogs. Philip's analogy's are right on the money. I have bought several of this book to give to herding friends.

Summary: Disappointing
Review: The book was disappointing because several of the stories in the beginning of the book were repeated later on almost word for word, lending itself to boredom. It would have been more interesting if it had been written in the format of "Wonder O' the Wind" which was highly regarded.

Summary: Such a great book
Review: This book should be read by anyone who has a animal. It is so heartwarming and loving. And the tie between God and nature is so strong. I loved it. All kids should read this book. Teeens too.
