The Good Shepherd

Curiously, I am not giving this novel 5-stars precisely because of how well Forester writes here: The commander gets so exhausted and I identify so strongly with him that I get exhausted while reading it. Le Père Martin" (1888) by Ruben Saillens and unwittingly plagiarized as " Papa Panov's Special Christmas" by Leo Tolstoy Still Forester's fans (of which I am one) will be happy. He is, I think, incapable of writing a completely bad story.

I have to ding Forester for two references to submarines not moving underwater. Submarines underwater are like sharks: they have to keep moving to survive: the side hydroplanes moving through water are necessary for horizontal stability, and even to maintain a given depth. No matter how carefully the "trim" is adjusted, if the sub stopped moving, it would lose horizontal stability and start to rise to the surface or fall to crush depth where the sub would tend away from the horizontal and toward the vertical: Without Control. Emergency Surface is the only command the captain could give, if his sub stopped moving. von Hügel, Friedrich (1911). "John, Gospel of St". In Chisholm, Hugh (ed.). Encyclopædia Britannica.

The flight lieutenant told him Joe, the mess steward, was preparing a room for him. Joe started a fire in the room’s fireplace, brought the pilot food, and stayed to talk. The mess steward said he worked at RAF Minton for twenty years. During the war there had been many young fliers, but the best one had been John Kavanaugh, who had had the room they were now in. The pilot walked over to a framed old photo of a young pilot beside a Mosquito with JK painted on its nose. Joe said that during the war, after the squadron had returned, John Kavanaugh would refuel his Mosquito and go out alone, searching for any crippled bombers to guide them home.

What Comfort Can Christians Draw from God being Their Shepherd?

C. S. Forester has two skills which are admirably blended in “The Good Shepherd,” a first-rate novel of World War II. He is able to make us identify ourselves with the tensions and the loneliness of man, this time a man in command of many men. He also is able to make us see and hear and feel action, especially when writing of ships and the sea, so vividly that a powerful sense of participation is inevitable. Keep us in suspense: literally, “How long will you take away our life?” Cf. Jn 11:48– 50. If you are the Messiah, tell us plainly: cf. Lk 22:67. This is the climax of Jesus’ encounters with the Jewish authorities. There has never yet been an open confession before them. if I perform them, even if you do not believe me, believe the works, so that you may realize [and understand] that the Father is in me and I am in the Father.” w 39[Then] they tried again to arrest him; but he escaped from their power. Krause’s entire life comes into focus during two days in 1942 in the North Atlantic. His Christian upbringing, his being “passed over”* for promotion, his failed marriage, but most of all his rigid sense of duty before self all animate the inner dialogue which is the heart of this amazing story.

The Good Shepherd was used as the basis for Tom Hank’s CGI extravaganza Greyhound. While entertaining, the movie is simply over-the-top in its depiction of German U-boats slugging it out on the surface with an American destroyer in broad daylight. Galbraith, James K. (2000).

Likewise, Jesus gave His life on the cross as “the Good Shepherd” for his own. He who would save others, though He had the power, did not choose to save Himself. “The Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many” (Matthew 20:28). Through His willing sacrifice, the Lord made salvation possible for all who come to Him in faith. In proclaiming that He is the Good Shepherd, Jesus speaks of “laying down” His life for His sheep (John 10:15, 17–18).Then came the Festival of Dedication [ b] at Jerusalem. It was winter, 23 and Jesus was in the temple courts walking in Solomon’s Colonnade. ( AG) 24 The Jews ( AH) who were there gathered around him, saying, “How long will you keep us in suspense?
