Judge’s Review

In book two of The Shepherd Chronicles, Gary Friedman continues the story of David Hynes as he fulfills his promise when his life was saved after a car accident. David is visited again by the mysterious messenger who tells him that he has fulfilled his promise and is now released from it. But David wants to continue with his journey and his mission. Now, with his shepherd’s staff and then accompanied by Peg, the love of his life, David sets out again with no real plan, just traveling. He meets people on his journey who may have lost their way or are facing majors decisions. David has the gift of listening and being able to say what they need to hear. Then David faces a major change in his world.

This is a wonderful book that will give faith and hope to anyone who reads it. We all face adversity in our lives, how we handle it, where we turn for help can be big decisions. Friedman shows, without forcing it, that there is a place to turn. The writing is easy and not pretentious. The story is interesting. The characters are well drawn and you care about them. This is an inspiring story that will appeal to a wide audience.
