God's grace will never take you where it cannot keep. This book shows us how Jesus Christ is our loving Shepherd who laid down His life for our redemption. Our view of Jesus affects our belief in God and the effect of trials in our lives. God's grace sets back our setbacks when we put our focus on the person of Jesus Christ. Oftentimes, we live in defeat because we fail to understand the present day ministry of the Holy Spirit. God promised that He will not leave us as orphans but gave us the Holy Spirit as our Comforter. This Comforter will let our setbacks become comebacks.

Review

This is the book to read if you are really serious about seeing your setbacks set back. To move forwards, sometimes things obstructing your path have to push back. Edmond has experienced a cartridge of setbacks in his own life, he applied himself to learn what this formidable common enemy is -Setbacks- and gleaned precious truths and nuggets. These truths will crush your own setbacks if you lay hold of them and set them off in your own world. Edmond has gone full throttle to show us how Christ help us in pushing back setbacks and pushes us forward.- Qaphelani Ngulube

This book, The Good Shepherd: Grace sets back your setbacks is a well researched study of the life of king David. I believe this book is helpful for Christians that seek more understanding of their relationship with Christ, the present ministry of the Holy Spirit and how the finished work of Christ sets back setbacks. Furthermore, through the life of David, Edmond writes on how we can deal with setbacks.-Marvelous A. Ganda

From the Author

What's the story behind your latest book?
In The Good Shepherd: Grace sets back your setbacks, I am talking about David and how the Lord brought him victory throughout his struggles. I first wrote Part Two of the book in 2008 after I had gone through some trying times in health, relationships and finances. God begin teaching me about how His love and kindness as the Shepherd would bring victory to me despite my obvious trying circumstances. Many people are going through what I went through or even worse, but the promises of God are yes and Amen. God is not only able to bring deliverance in your life but He is also willing.

What motivated you to become an author?
Firstly, I am avid reader. I have been reading ever since I can remember. When I was probably six, my parents lost me at an international trade. Well, it was easy to find me; they just looked where there were many posters and signs. During my Bible studies, I often read other books people wrote. The first time I decided to start writing was when I walked into a Christian library and failed to find a book which was on the subject I was studying. I guess that was the first step in my journey as a writer.

What are you working on next?
As a blogger, I am always thinking of the next article but beyond that, I write from what the Lord taught me. Therefore, each day brings the question which everyone should also ask themselves, "What is the Lord saying, right now?" God has been reminding me each day of the gracious truth that He has enriched me in everything. I believe my next book will be exploring that awesome truth.

A friend recommended this book to me, speaking very highly of it. I bought it and read it quickly. I found many memorable sayings to highlight and come back to on a second reading. Sanganyado focuses throughout on Christ Jesus.

This is not a self-help book; it is an encouragement book. I would recommend it to any of my Christian friends.

The rating falls short of five stars because the book needs an editor and copy editor. There are some discussions and stories that need to be teased out a little; there is a little repetition in spots, and there are many places where the flow was interrupted for me by an English error. However, the content is rich and uplifting. I am definitely glad I bought and read the book.

Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2014
Grace set your setbacks is a great book.the author took his time explaining how God shepherds us.His interpretation of Psalms 23 on the church being likened to sheep made me realize how much we need the Good Shepherd.
If you thought all is lost,you have had some cloudy days and things seem not to working for you..this is the book that will raise you up and be what God made you to be.
