Good night, fair world; 'tis time to seek repose. Let us first read and meditate upon that delightful chapter, the tenth of St. John, where our blessed Saviour appropriates all these characters of a good shepherd to himself.

"The Land and the Book."

"Faduel Moghabghab," said our guest, laughing as he leaned over the tea-table toward two little maids, vainly trying to beguile their willing and sweetly puckered lips into pronouncing his name. "Faduel Moghabghab," he repeated in syllables, pointing to the card he had passed to them. "Accent the u and drop those g's which your little throats cannot manage," he went on kindly, while the merriment sparkled in his dark eyes, and his milk-white teeth, seen through his black moustache as he laughed, added beauty to his delicate and vivacious face.

A beautiful written passage with such great meaning
.. though I am not religious I loved this little read

This very short book unites the totality of the 23rd Psalm via storytelling about shepherding in the guest's homeland.

Brilliant! Psalm 23 from the perspective of an actual shepherd, is illuminating. I'm a city girl, so understanding just a bit about the actual activities of a shepherd lends a whole new point of view on this well-loved psalm.

Very sweet and true interpretation of the 23rd Psalm.

This book dates back to 1904 so the style of writing is different to what we're used to - may seem a bit twee in places but the underlying ideas and interpretation of psalm 23 are really helpful. The insights come not from the author but his syrian guest stated in the book to be "faduel moghabghab".

A short book with an appealing cover. It's a bit more religious than I expected. It follows the story of an unnamed Syrian shepherd visiting an American household. He explains the meaning of the 23rd Psalm in the Bible from the perspective of a Syrian shepherd. The book is quick to read, has beautif

Much more than a song!

This is a beautiful, practical application of the psalm to one's real life, moment-by-moment experience. I love and recommend it for all ages!
