Sammy and His Shepherd by Susan Hunt and Cory Godbey

sammy and the shepherd

Sammy and His Shepherd by Susan Hunt and Cory Godbey. Reformation Trust, 2008. 56 pages.

Reading Level: Picture Books, ages 0-8

Geared for slightly younger children than Hunt’s other children’s devotionals, Sammy and His Shepherd focuses on a single theme: using the 23rd Psalm as a clear metaphor for salvation. The story quality in this one is better, and preschoolers will readily grasp the “point” of the stories. Like her other children’s devotionals, Hunt provides Scripture to read (and memorize), questions to discuss, and something to pray about. This one will encourage wonderful discussion about God’s plan of salvation, his shepherding of us, and a further understanding of the many metaphors of sheep/shepherds in Scripture!
