Shepherd’s Warning, Shepherd’s Delight is a poetic description of my walk from a lost place, to a place of relationship with God. Raised Catholic, I wandered away from organized Christian faith and became more interested in an abstract connection with a Creator, through Eastern belief and healing systems. While Shepherd’s Warning, Shepherd’s Delight doesn’t directly address these systems, it does give voice to the underlying soul-call that cries out for and seeks a personal relationship with the Living God. Darkness becomes light, becomes life.  But the pathways aren’t smooth or idealized.  The journey oscillates and there is always the underlying realization of one’s humanity; the very real and flawed part of us that is in such need of a Savior.

Shepherd’s Warning, Shepherd’s Delight ultimately takes on observations of the state of the world and the churches. It assumes that the found faith is rooted in the belief that the Bible is what it claims to be; simply, God’s Word given to us. Hence the title; the Bible as the foundation of our knowledge of faith is both our supreme delight and our greatest test. We are indeed all being warned.
