June 9, 2025 ● 30 minShare this episode
This week hosts Mike Nawrocki and Tricia Goyer talked with author Hannah Harrison about her new book coming this summer, The Good Shepherd and the Stubborn Sheep: A Story of God’s Redemptive Love.
2025 Christlit Book Award WINNER!
The Good Shepherd and the Stubborn Sheep is a humorous and heartwarming picture book about God's unconditional love. This story beautifully captures the essence of Psalm 23, showing the importance of trusting God, our Good Shepherd, with our lives.
Meet George, a silly and sometimes stubborn sheep living happily under the care of a Good Shepherd. But when shearing time comes, George decides it’s time to make a run for it, and soon finds himself on a journey full of unexpected disappointment, discomfort, and danger. Ultimately, he finds rescue and learns why he really does need a shepherd.
The Bible is full of references to sheep and shepherds, but what does it mean to be a good shepherd? And how are we like sheep? The Good Shepherd and the Stubborn Sheep uses an unforgettable character and riveting story to bring biblical truth to life for kids and illustrate the many comforting and loving attributes of God.
The Good Shepherd and the Stubborn Sheep is perfect for:
- Children ages 4 and up
- Family devotions and bedtime reading
- Discussions about the meaning of Psalm 23, the parable of the lost sheep, and how God is always with us
- Sunday school lessons and church libraries
- Easter baskets, baptism or First Communion gifts, birthday gifts, and other gift-giving opportunities
