The Good Shepherd is a visual retelling of the biblical lesson as taken from The Complete Guide to Godly Play.
The book recreates the experience of hearing this core and possibly best-loved, best-known Bible story as a supplement to Godly Play or as a stand-alone bedside reader. For Christian educators, parents, grandparents, godparents—anyone who desires to engage in sharing faith and biblical stories in any setting, especially all those in the Godly Play community: trainers, storytellers, teachers, parents, and children.
The late Jerome W. Berryman was the founder of Godly Play and had years of experience working with children ages 2–18. Priest, writer, lecturer, and workshop leader, Berryman was, for years, Senior Fellow of the Center for the Theology of Childhood. He was the author of The Complete Guide to Godly Play, Teaching Godly Play, Children and the Theologians, The Spiritual Guidance of Children, and Stories of God at Home.
"I bought the two new storybooks and am telling my parents ALL to buy them as Christmas gifts. I almost cried! Love the illustrations, the way it’s all presented, the fact that it is almost word for word how the stories are presented, and that it will be such a wonderful tool for parents."—Kim McPherson, Director of Religious Education, Saint John's Cathedral, Denver, Colorado
