Welcome to the Sheepdog Library!
The books herein listed are designed to help you in your growth as a disciple of Jesus. Some will be devoted to strictly "sheepdog stuff," however, there are many designed to assist you in your growth as a believer.
This is just a start - more books to come! They can all be ordered from www.amazon.com.
THE DIVINE CONSPIRACY, by Dallas Willard, is one of the best books I have ever read. I read and reread it constantly.
RENOVATION OF THE HEART, by Dallas Willard. This book is thorough and deals with just about every subject pertinent to Christlike transformation.
HEARING GOD, by Dallas Willard. He thoroughly tackles the subject of "hearing the Voice of our Father."
THE GREAT OMISSION, by Dallas Willard, is an excellent book, and focuses on the need to disciple - the one thing we were told to do - but aren't!
THE CELEBRATION OF DISCIPLINE, by Richard Foster. I started reading this book many years ago. It is one of those that must be read and reread. It's been called the "8th most important Christian book in the 20th century."
WILD AT HEART, by John Eldredge. I have read several men's books over the years - and, for the most part, have been bored by all of them. This one I've read several times. And will do so again.
Rejecting the boundaries that divide Christianity's many denominations, Mere Christianity provides an unequalled opportunity for believers and nonbelievers alike to absorb a powerful, rational case for the Christian faith.
Waking the Dead will help us all find the life Christ promised. Jesus said, “I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” That’s the offer of Christianity, from God himself.
Evil Invades Sanctuary, by Carl Chinn, is an excellent read for all sheepdogs. The book confirms the need for intentional safety and security in houses of worship and other faith-based organizations.
Though chapter 4 provides sound guidance on setting up a faith-based safety / security operation, Evil Invades Sanctuary is not a how-to church security book. It is the case for security in faith-based organizations. It tells the story of deadly force incidents in those environments in such a way to help others (especially law enforcement, civilian security operators and organizational leadership) understand what goes on inside such a scene. It also tells how less volatile issues have impacted those organizations.

I (Jimmy Meeks) met Dr. Craig Isaacs at the Denver Sheepdog Seminar. This is a remarkable man who has some great things to say. He's also a blast to be around! From the gunning down of a pastor to domestic violence; from rampage shootings at a youth meeting to dealing with the belligerent drug addict; from child molesters to the cutting of the throat of the founder of the Taize Community during a worship service; violence has already breached the walls of our churches. This book presents a three-fold scheme of protection from violence as it explores the spiritual, the psychological, and the physical spheres of protection educating the reader on what to look out for and giving practical insights into how to intervene before violence occurs.

Charl van Wyk was just an ordinary Christian man until July 25, 1993 - the day that would become known for the St. James Massacre. It was on this date that Van Wyk shot back at the terrorists who were attacking an innocent congregation gathered in worship, and saved many lives in the process. Watch the video, an interview with Charl.
