Goats and Sheep - Meet the Author

Meet Brenda York, author of Goats and Sheep.

About the Book
Goats and Sheep is a children’s book about a parable Jesus told in the Book of Matthew in the Bible. Goats and sheep both have unique characteristics that are used comparatively when it comes to our relationship and obedience to Jesus as our shepherd and Savior. As with many of the stories Jesus told, he used our common knowledge to help us understand what he had to say about the Kingdom of Heaven.

Some of us are like sheep, willing to follow Christ because we realize we need God’s help to navigate life. We trust Jesus as our Good Shepherd, knowing he he won’t fail us or abandon us. He will faithfully lead us home. We just have to believe in him and follow.

However, some of us are like goats. We are stubborn , self sufficient, rule benders. We think we can live as we choose without eternal consequences. The story can’t help but cause one to do a little self reflecting. How we respond to Jesus as Shepherd does affect where we will spend eternity. But it will be of our own choosing. We choose whether we are a goat or a sheep. Readers will have to decide for themselves which is better.
