Lessons from a Sheep Dog

Book Description

What you see is not always what you get - and this true story of a man and his dog is no exception. Woven just under the surface of this simple parable, Keller presents profound spiritual truth. It is the story of Lass, a worthless animal thought to be untrainable, who becomes a magnificent and valuable sheepdog - not terribly unlike how God's love can transform our worst characteristics into blessings that serve to further His Kingdom. Allow yourself to see Biblical truth in this classic tale of what can happen when you yield to the Master.

Excellent Books / Excellent Buy.......2007-09-28

Loved this book - a wonderful story of Love through the eyes of a shepherd. Lass is a sheepdog who is abused and unloved. Her transformation when she is loved by her master is a picture of our transformation when we receive God's (our master's) love.

Lessons from a Sheep Dog.......2007-04-28

The write ups were misleading. I bought this book for my grandson, only to find it contained Christian propaganda. "Obey the Master's voice" ??? please...

Engaging, light read - recommend for all.......2006-10-09

This book is warm story that shows the relationship of trust and loyalty built between an abused dog and his new owner. I highly recommend it to any and all.

Worthy of a re-read from time to time. Among other messages, a gentle reminder of the spirit of service we are all meant to demonstrate!

Great book for dog lovers.......2006-07-09

I gave this book to a friend for her birthday. She has a dog just like Lass and could relate very closely to the author's experiences. She loved the book. I am reading it now and agree completely. Great book for any dog lover.

Lessons from a Sheep Dog.......2006-03-20

Be sure to get this little book to go with "A shepherd looks at psalm 23". It will open you eyes to your relationship with our good shepherd and it may put you to shame as to how willing are you to follow His call.

Lessons From a Sheepdog.......2004-07-05

"Now that you are starting a new life, I am going to give you a new name. How does Lass sound to you?" asked Phillip Keller, the new owner that Lass was introduced to through a personal ad. Although there was a need on both the sheepdog and new owners behalf, Lass escaped from Phillip as soon as the leash was removed. The pages of this book are enhanced by eloquent illustrations. The adventures and mishaps that Lass and Phillip have with one another and other animals are entertaining and suspensful. This is a book for every dog lover.

Outstanding.......2001-03-23

This is an outstanding book not only for children but for adults also. I have 4 children from ages 9-15 and they all greatly enjoyed and loved this book! Highly recommended!

Product Description

Eight World War II battles are examined here from the perspective of the U.S. Army infantrymen who were facing German Panzers. The battles were chosen from those fought from August 1944 through January 1945, a time of rapid advances and intense combat. They include a variety of engagements: river crossings, defensive operations, assaults on towns, and others.

US Infantry trying to survive German assaults.......2007-03-04

An odd book: A semi-formal description of the phenomenon of US Army Infantry being assaulted by German Forces in selected actions. The maps are inadequate [nothing i've yet seen, has ever been adequate, so that's not a criticism, more a wish], the narrative reads like official award citations, since most of the named participants seem to have been medal-winners. The best are some of the non-official sources, interviews with participants and visits to the battleground are compelling; in one footnote, even humorous [cows used to confuse german tank, prompts "bovinatarian" response by TC]. I enjoyed it but would have liked it even more if the authors had written in a less dry style. Recommended for the combat buff.

Great Detail - Poor Writing.......2003-06-10

This is obviously well researched and has plenty of detail - too much, in fact. Be prepared to be bombarded with unit numbers right off the bat. Not light reading, this is only for the serious researcher used to taking copious notes while reading...

Pretty good, lots of good detail.......2000-02-23

This is not a book for the person looking for an easy reading, entertaining tale of US companies in action against German armor units. Rather, a number of various actions are analyzed in exhaustive detail. The maps can be very helpful at times (in one case tracing the path of a Bazooka-armed GI stalking a panzer) and not so useful in other cases. However, many maps are provided unlike other books of this type. I'd say that the target audience for this book is the serious military reader who wants more detail than the casual war story reader. Engineers, artillery, and anti-tank gun activities get covered pretty well.

Detailed tactical actionthat rewards close reading........1998-08-28

Professional soldiers may get more out of this than the general reader, but close attention to the descriptions of the squad and platoon actions are rewarding. The importance of pre-planning, of coordinating different weapons systems, and of aggressive "upfront" leadership all come through. Another reviewer comments on the maps; yes, sometimes the text references locations the reader can't find, but they may be due to an inability of the authors to reconcile conflicting testimony between the participants and the official records. Given how few maps show up in military history books these days, I'd give the publisher a lot of credit for their efforts here. The style varies somewhat from section to section, but not so much as to detract from the value of the book.

more unit movements/not much individual situations.......1998-05-22

Very confusing describing unit dispositions and movements.had to continue to turn back to maps which were not too helpful due to large areas depicted.(Referred to houses etc not on map)

I thought that I would read about individual situations of 57mm crews and rifle companies against panzers. Got too much our tanks and TD's.

See Citizen Soldier book.more about poor line company GI's.

Can government do better? An interesting conversation.......2006-10-21

I recently revisited this book and it has some solid ideas on transforming the way government is run. So much of the debate today is on how to use government, conservatives to benefit those who have, and liberals to benefit those who do not have. Both want to spend money, so big and small is a useless paradigm. So we need to again talk about how to make the government we have responsive. No small chore. And this book will not solve placing political hacks into leadership positions and destroying career professionals and their work as we have seen over the last several years. None of this can be done if we do not have competent professionals in leadership positions with the courage to take on how our government delivers its services.

Reinventing Government.......2005-07-27

This is an excellent book that covers all of the facts about our old and new government laws in comparison to current events that occur within our society. Regulations and guidelines are also described about the Private and Public Sector and how they differ. It is definately a great book.

With low expectations, it is good.......2002-06-01

Firstly, let me say that I agree with most of the other readers when they write that this book was neither academic nor "reinventive". I will say that this was strictly an idea book, a motivator to the masses. So long as one doesn't expect emperical research, evenhanded arguements, or even updated conclusions, they are fine. When reading this book, don't expect, nor should you expect, to be handed ideas on a platter to run with. Rather, they present the optimum view of their vision. Whether it is right, wrong or impossible, they put forth thoughts that could spark change. The change that I am speaking of is not a grand sweeping motion that will forever alter the government, but rather pieces of an idea. Even if these particular ideas are not implemented, the chances of them sparking new ways of approach or implementation are greater.

In reading this book, I didn't take what the writers wrote verbatum, but I did begin to think about what I, as an individual, could do in my organization to make a difference. That is the target audience. These authors didn't write this book for the scholars or for the world of academia, but rather for the practical administrator in the field. Read this recomended book with above information in mind. If anything, it will be an interesting one.

Foolishness, Fads, and Folly.......2002-05-09

Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, US Defense Contractors were also on the verge of collapse, that is until someone had the bright idea of privatizing the government. Current government privatization efforts have resulted in huge contracts costing the American taxpayer double and triple the cost of the original government employees. This book is a Conservative Pipe Dream, a guide to a fantasy bureaucracy that never existed, and a bomb that has totally disrupted the efficient operation and security of the Federal Government.

A Third Way Perhaps!.......2000-10-28

Very interesting approach which makes an endeavor to integrate government and business. The idea this books advocates is to steer rather then rowing. It emphasizes on building up of the community and empowering it so it becomes self-sufficient. I would say that Al Gore and Tony Blair are two very strong supporters of this new approach of running the government.

From the author: A relatively recent best-selling publication and continuing popular book entitled Reinventing Government has received acclaim on the one hand, and on the other substantial criticism. Various elected officials and administrators of public agencies from Florida to California have suggested the book as a blue-print for the development of more effective and efficient government. A more critical reading of the book suggests that while it does present some noteworthy concepts, it takes liberties with historical fact, makes unsupported assumptions and demonstrates little respect for the country's conscientious, hard-working and productive public sector employees. As a result, the book and many of its recommendations, while being worthy of discussion, cannot be considered a serious piece of scholarly journalism.

Book Description

In a comprehensive investigation of macrogeographic variation in the Plain Titmouse (Parus inornatus) complex in western North America, the author assessed population-level patterns of differentiation in morphometric, colorimetric, allozymic, mtDNA, and vocal characters. These suites of traits showed broad geographic concordance, distinguishing Pacific slope from interior populations. These two groups of populations are treated as sibling species.
