A Compassionate Shepherd is the first book in the Up Close and Personal Series and covers Psalms 1–41.

This section of the Psalms parallels with the book of Genesis and portrays how God blessed, how man fell from God’s grace, and finally how God redeemed man when man asked forgiveness.

God is portrayed as a shepherd.

He provides blessings and protection for His children. Let us praise and adore Him for his unending love.

About the Author

Vicki Dixon has been a lifelong student herself and has also had a constant desire to share with others what she has learned through her own studies and experiences. Her early years of sharing involved teaching elementary school students. Later, she served as a high school principal where she enjoyed passing on the rewards of learning with students and teachers as well. Additionally, Vicki served as an Adjunct Professor in the College of Education at East Carolina University where she sought to instill in senior interns a love of sharing in the education of others. Vicki has shared her enjoyment of music with many—both in school and in her church as she serves in many capacities. Upon her retirement as an educator, she embarked on the role of leading Bible studies for women of her church. She seeks to encourage and inspire others to participate in areas of service where they, in turn, have opportunities to study God’s Word and share what He teaches.

Vicki Dixon lives in the Black Jack-Grimesland area of Pitt County, North Carolina, and is a member of Black Jack OFWB Church. She eagerly and actively supports her two daughters, her son-in-law, and two grandchildren.
