The 23rd Psalm is a classic. It is eternal in its meaning and contemporary in its application. One cannot improve upon this text. We need to know that the shepherd cares for the sheep today! The needs are different. The valleys are different. The enemies are different. However, human needs have not change. The search continues for someone to lead us to a place of rest, relevance, and refreshment. As an author, I desire to contribute to the conversation with the psalmist and the shepherd. It is possible to draw fresh water from old wells. In the chapters, His Name is On You, Valley Walk Don t Run, and Happy Valley are means to explore the psalm from the seat of modernity. The No Fear Zone and God s Teaching Tools are again new lenses to look at current situations. Ultimately, I am in hopes of rekindling interest in this timeless treasure. The Shepherd is still good. He still leads and he still cares for his own. The assurance he gives is just what we need in a world gone awry. There are still absolutes. Goodness and mercy will follow me and the Shepherd will lead me. This is the assurance we need for times such as these."
