Thoughts While Tending Sheep

This is one book that is in my personal library I will never get rid of. Thoughts while Tending Sheep is one of the most thought inducing books I've ever read. This book really makes you think about life and all the strange things that get us to where we are now. The author overcame many obstacles (Personal and other which he writes about) to become an author. Extremely well written book. The author writes about his life in California raising sheep with his wife Louise. He he also writes about his loyal dog, Maxie, a border collie, who means the world to him. He writes about how the sheep have taught him about life, love, challenges and ultimately God. He also speaks of his faith in Jesus Christ, from the time he was a dyslexic school boy who could barely read or write to the author he has become. This story really will bring you to tears and make you ponder your own life. Excellent book.
