The Heart of the Shepherd: Embracing God’s Provision for Life’s Journey

The Heart of the Shepherd is Stephen Chappell’s devotional exploration of the beloved twenty-third Psalm. As the founding pastor of Coastline Baptist Church, Chappell draws on decades of pastoral care to illuminate how God’s role as shepherd speaks to the deepest needs of the human heart.

The book takes readers through each verse of Psalm 23, unpacking the rich imagery of the shepherd metaphor and applying its truths to modern life. From green pastures to the valley of the shadow of death, Chappell shows how embracing God’s provision transforms how believers approach every season of life.

Written in an accessible devotional style, the book is suitable for both individual study and group discussion, offering practical spiritual encouragement alongside theological depth.
