I received a free copy of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review. All opinions are my own. 

Author Saulius Arbocius takes readers on a personal journey through the lens of a parable involving a sheep and his relationship with his shepherd in the book “The Good Shepherd”. 

The Synopsis

This story draws inspiration from Jesus’ powerful parable of the lost sheep. Just as the sheep in the parable was lost and in need of rescue, so too are we often lost in the storms of life, desperately searching for comfort and a safe haven.

Just as the Good Shepherd came to the rescue of the lost sheep, so too does Jesus come to our aid in our times of need. His love and grace are always available to us, even in our darkest moments.

Throughout the narrative, we witness scenes where the lost sheep, wandering aimlessly and feeling adrift in the world. But through her journey, she discovers the power of faith and redemption, finding solace in the loving arms of the Good Shepherd.

This story is not merely a tale of a lost sheep, but a meditation on the nature of God’s love and the transformative power of faith. It is a reminder that no matter how lost or alone we may feel, we are never truly beyond the reach of the Good Shepherd’s mercy.

About the Author

Hello, I’m Saulius Arbocius, born on June 6, 1978, in the heart of Lithuania’s summer. My journey began with an innate curiosity to understand the divine. Growing up in a serene countryside, I sensed the presence of God through nature, igniting a lifelong quest for deeper knowledge.

Embracing my passion, I embarked on a path that led me to the Catholic priesthood. Theology, with its profound intricacies, captured my heart and mind, and I remain enamored by its depth. My formative years were marked by transformative seminars, evangelization, and enlightening mission schools.

After completing my theological studies and becoming a deacon, I decided to embark on a new chapter, opting to shift my focus to family life. After getting dispensation from Dicastery for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments, me and my cherished wife and two children, found a different yet equally profound way to serve God and the Church. Since 2013, we’ve made our home in the UK.

In service to my faith, I guide adults in sacramental preparation, lead seminars, and am currently devoted to the art of writing. My passion for theological exploration continues unabated, and my current endeavor involves sharing my insights through the pages of books. Each word I write is a testament to my unwavering commitment to understanding and illuminating the spiritual journey we all undertake.
