Nathaniel is the youngest son in a family of shepherds. As the "baby" of the family, he never gets any important jobs. Instead, he must stay behind and watch the little lambs. When one of the lambs accidentally gets out and becomes lost, Nathaniel goes on a journey that changes everything! "Whom Shepherds Guard" is the first in a series of books that retell the parables of Jesus from a different perspective. The series imagines that the stories Jesus told were based on real events connected to his life growing up while he prepared for his ministry.
