What does a good shepherd look like? How does he or she act? How does he or she lead? Shepherding is the single most important image of servant leadership in the Bible. From literal shepherds such as Moses and David to the apostles calling early church elders to pastor their flocks, biblical leadership is embodied in the humble, vigilant, everyday work of shepherds. To help us better understand this idea of shepherding, Tim Laniak spent months among Bedouin shepherds in the Middle East. Combining this rich cultural experience with careful biblical study, Tim offers 40 short readings that explore every leader's responsibility to provide, protect, and guide. Each chapter begins with observations from Tim's travels, continues with insights into Bible stories about shepherding, and concludes with what this means for you in your own spheres of influence, whether in the home, church, or neighborhood. As a follower of Jesus, the Good Shepherd, you too are called to be a good shepherd of the sheep in your care.

Find hope in an unfamiliar journey marked by changes and challenges. It's a paradox. Following the death of a spouse, some widows can barely boil water, yet must make major decisions. Reevaluating finances, handling changes to legal documents, and learning new skills require attention at a time when you may be struggling to even think straight. Through personal reflections, questions, and expressions of gratitude, Marilyn Nutter leads you to recognize God's faithful presence in unusual places. Sixty-five brief readings cover widows' universal experiences with poignant honesty. Marilyn applies Scripture to grief and mourning and looks with transparency at how widowhood dramatically changes a woman's life. Among the readings are invitations to journal treasured memories, reflect on the additional losses that accompany the death of a spouse, and appreciate unexpected gifts. Though nothing can fix this irreversible loss, Hope for Widows offers you connections in your grief, guiding you to see hope, grace, and camaraderie on this unfamiliar path.
