The Shepherd's Life
April 13, 2023

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
"This is an ancient, hard-earned, local kind of freedom, that was stolen from people elsewhere."
I highly recommend this book. It is "bloody marvelous" as the cover says. And read it slowly. I've taken my time with it over months, reading a few pages most mornings, almost like a devotional.
Rebanks describes a hyper-local way of life. Which reveals the deep ethical and spiritual connections of such good, hard work. Here is an example of a life lived in intimate knowledge of all that is difficult and struggle and, yet, how to find enjoyment, meaning, and reward in life.
