Books with title The Sleep Sheep

Shelley the Sheep a fictional children's story based upon the parable of the Good Shepherd. Intended as an imaginative retelling of the lost sheep complete with various perils. Originally written in around 1990 it was also delightfully illustrated by my mother with simple line drawings. I have used the story in Church over the years only to find that it is the adults who are left weeping whilst the children love Shelley's big adventure.

Divine Routes is a series of short books explaining the Christian faith to pre-school and Key Stage 1 children. The series uses buses and their journeys on their bus routes to convey the biblical messages. The text is perfect for being read aloud and also easy to read for first readers. God is the Bus Controller in the stories, with Jesus the bus conductor. The buses are people, with children denoted by mini-buses. There are six routes, each donated by a colour; red, yellow, green, blue, orange and purple; these denote six of the routes we may take to know God, to the divine. Each route has a “driver” associated with the buses; this is the Holy Spirit.The Lost Sheep tells the story of an ordinary Tuesday in Divine. The Bus Controller waved all the buses off on their routes and then welcomed them all back in at the end of the day. But something is wrong. There’s one bus missing. Who hasn’t come home? The Bus Controller goes searching for the missing bus.This is the story of the lost sheep as told by Jesus about how we are all important to God. The parable of The Lost Sheep is in two books of the bible. In the gospel of Matthew at Matthew 18:12-14. And in the gospel of Luke at Luke 15:3-7.The current books in the Divine Routes Series are:1 – Jump Aboard the Bus2 – Good Samaritan3 – Lost Sheep4 – Prodigal Son5 – The Sower

The Lost SheepCaptain Danae Shepherd returns to Mars Station with her crew of the Ishmael, fully aware that she is walking straight into a trap. But Danae isn’t going to let a little thing like being wanted for murder keep her away, not when her ally Dr. Erik Sorensen is stuck in jail; and not when evidence is desperately needed to end police chief Acheron’s depraved side business of abducting homeless children and selling them as slaves.Danae’s nervous crew agrees to her daring plan, which is based more on luck than strategy, but her clairvoyant helmsman Marco Ting raises the level of tension with two chilling premonitions: the Captain’s plan will unravel once they reach Mars Station, putting all their lives in danger, and someone close to Lorina Murphy is going to die. The Lost Sheep is the second book in The Orphan Ship trilogy. Sterling R. Walker’s first novel, The Orphan Ship, was awarded a 2012 silver medal from Children’s Literary Classics.
