Every summer, thousands of families flock to the seaside town of Watch Hill, Rhode Island, where only children can ride its famous Flying Horse Carousel. Set by the sea and sand dunes of Napatree Point, it is the oldest Flying Horse Carousel in the United States in continuous operation. From morning until night, the smaller children ride the inside horses, and the bigger children ride on the outside horses, leaning out, arms outstretched to catch the brass ring. When summer ends, the families go home, and Watch Hill and the carousel close down. But where do the horses go?

THIS JUST IN FROM THE NORTH POLE Santa read this book, and here is what he said: "This book tells the story exactly the way I remember it I had the sleigh and my boots polished, and I was loading all the gifts, when Mrs. Claus told me the awful news. Reindeer flu had hit all the reindeer from Dasher and Dancer to Donner and Blitzen. Even Rudolf was sneezing and coughing Our doctor ordered all the reindeer to bed. He said they couldn't fly at all for two days. And it was Christmas Eve What to do, we wondered. What to do? Then a bright little girl came up with the great idea that saved Christmas for everyone "

Exploring the biblical models of shepherding, mentoring, and equipping, They Smell Like Sheep unlocks the secrets of leadership for anyone. What kind of leadership will effectively lead the church into the morally turbulent twenty-first century? The same kind of leadership that led it through the morally and politically chaotic first century. Shepherding. This is the kind of leadership Jesus used, and this is the kind of leadership that will take his church where he wants it to go. While the term "shepherd" produces warm images of love, care, and tenderness, it also describes a form of leadership that is perilously protective, dangerous, dirty, and smelly. "Shepherd" is something that every follower of Christ, the Good Shepherd, is called to become. Lynn Anderson, in this important book, leads us backwards in time to discover and identify the biblical leader for the future needs of the Christian community. Anderson's deep dig for truth will concern, convict, and confront us about where leadership has been, and will set a new standard for where the future leader must go.
