"It is the end of a bitterly cold winter. A crowd of people file into a cathedral to celebrate the consecration of a new bishop--a good man, they think, strict in doctrine, but capable of compassion. A man of tradition, not of reform. A "company man." His name is David Campbell. And sitting in the last pew of the cathedral is a clean-shaven man of ordinary build, with gentle hazel eyes. His name is Joshua. Within twenty-four hours of his first encounter with Joshua, David Campbell will propose the most far-reaching reforms in a millennium...reforms to destroy sectarian barriers...reforms to change the direction of the church...reforms to return Christianity to its founder's simple message. With Joshua as his mentor, David Campbell--The Shepard--preaches to Catholics, Protestants, Moslems, and Jews of the universal truth of God's love. It is a message that changes everyone it touches." -- Page [4] cover
