A sly, sneaky wolf and a herd of fluffy, defenseless sheep""what chance do these sheep have against this clever, vicious wolf? Well, none actually, but things are about to change. Someone has come to care for and even give his life to protect these sheep from the wolf""a good shepherd. But the wolf is not finished yet. He has a sneaky plan to get his sheep dinner. His plan will make him blend right in, so he thinks. Will it work, or will the wolf be sadly disappointed? This book, although fun and a bit silly, depicts the love Jesus Christ has for us. The Bible tells of how Jesus is the Good Shepherd (John 10:11) and how all of us are like sheep who have gone astray. Satan, just like this wolf, is out to seek and destroy. We stand no chance against him. The ultimate goal is for this book to touch the lives of children and adults all around the world and for each reader to see that we need Jesus to be our Good Shepherd personally and to save us and guide our lives. May the Lord bless you and speak to your heart as you read this funny yet truthful story.
