Phillip Keller: The Inspirational Writings

By W. Phillip Keller

Book Overview

An "ordinary man and a child of God," Phillip Keller writes with sensitivity in these four bestselling works - A Shepherd Looks at Psalm 23, A Layman Looks at the Lord's Prayer, A Shepherd Looks at the Good Shepherd & His Sheep, A Gardner Looks at the Fruits of the Spirit - exploring the beautiful relationships among the Good Shepherd, His sheep, the Father Who loves them and the Spirit Who guides them. From the unique perspective of this first-hand experience as a shepherd and naturalist, Keller brings the Scriptures alive as wonderfully profound truths originally expressed in the simple language of a rural people.

Excellent Book

This is great compilation of several books by Phillip Keller and I highly recommend them.

The Best Book on Psalm 23

This is the best book on Psalm 23. I have read almost all the books on Psalm 23 (commentaries, sermons and critical books) in the Bible (and Shepherd Motif/Imagery). I used to feel to hit a wall to preach Psalm 23 for a long time. The author truly breaks the wall to open my eyes. This is one of the first books that I use for discipleship and leadership training for the churches that I ministered for last 15 years. And I have bought a few hundred copies to my fellow Christians to appreciate Psalm 23. Richard K. Min, Dallas, Texas

HIGHLY INSPIRATIONAL

This has got to absolutely be one of the best books I have ever read. What a pity that it is no longer available, except by searching for a used copy. Phillip Keller opens grand new vistas regarding what consitutes a really good shepherd and what being a "sheep" is all about. Many portions of both the Old and New Testament are much more meaningful to me now. I would read this book before I went to bed. It was like drinking a glass of the finest wine. Very inspirational and highly recommended.

The writtings of Phillip Keller are easy to understand .

The book containing all 4 of Phillip Keller's writtings is a winner for preachers that need that extra little something in studying.His down to earth manner of speaking makes the book come to life before your eyes.As your read ,you can almost see the actions unfold.You can almost hear the cry of the wayward sheep.I have found the book most useful in preparing sermons about the 23rd Psalm and even now am using it to bring some very powerful sermons dealing with the parable of the sower found in Matthew 13. Even while studying for these sermons I found myself in a place of humility because of the way certain aspects of life are overlooked.I would recomend the book to all of my fellow pastors. It is space saving and very well priced.tbneal
