THE SHEPHERD IS IN A PICKLE

The Shepherd Is in a Pickle is a warm, humorous, and heartfelt collection of Christian devotionals that proves God can teach us through even the most ordinary things-including a jar of pickles.

What began as a playful challenge from a friend-Could you really find a spiritual lesson in a pickle?-became a journey through the garden, kitchen, family life, church, and Gayla Rogers' own walk with Christ. From cucumbers hidden beneath the leaves and jars that refuse to seal to pickle juice, green tomatoes, Granny's recipes, and waiting for that familiar "pop," everyday experiences become reminders of biblical truth.

Through personal stories, practical applications, and King James Version Scripture, Gayla explores salvation, spiritual growth, obedience, waiting on God, relationships, difficult people, generosity, false beliefs, trials, and the importance of passing faith to the next generation. The book also includes two treasured family recipes from Granny's kitchen.

At its heart is one simple message: when we remain open to the Holy Spirit, no place and no moment is too ordinary for God to use.

Sometimes the Shepherd teaches us in church. Sometimes He teaches us in a storm.

And apparently, sometimes He teaches us through a pickle.
