The most profound and life changing book I have read in the last ten years has got to be 'The Wisdom of Shepherds'. The Wisdom of Shepherds is the best book of its kind. It is written in very simple terms because it is a story about a simple man who enjoyed a simple lifestyle until the day it was disturbed by the intrusion of a stranger. The stranger is a young woman with red hair. While the shepherd was away, the woman moved into his cottage. When the shepherd returns and finds her there, he is afraid the woman may discover the object he buried beneath the cottage when he was a young man.

Over all, The Wisdom of Shepherds is a great story from the genre of wisdom-literature and, I believe, a true must read. Only be aware that the language is ultra-simple. Be sure to click The Wisdom of Shepherds icon.
