About this ebook
“The Lost Sheep” are people who “The Church” has never dealt with very well. Burying our heads in the sand and relegating them by using derogatory descriptives, has allowed us the unobstructed convenience of casting “The Lost” as “The Villains” in the story. I consider "These Wanderers" as “Missing With A Reason” rather than “Lost”. I often wonder if we really care to know the "Reason"?

I believe when it comes to the topic of "faith" it's important to know the heart of the writer you are reading. Hence, a little insight. If you've perused my writings I trust you have noticed that I'm an unapologetic non-conformist thus not religious per say. In fact, my greatest concern in life is to be summarily dismissed as a "religious person". My preference? A "real person" serving "a real God" who "really loves" THE WORLD. From day one of my sojourn with God it's always been a "real or nothing" mindset. I couldn't imagine any other way to approach the journey. Admittedly, never perfect and often awkward, but that has been and continues to be the narrow road I travel. At 27 years of age Jesus literally stole my heart. I did not join a "Club". I fell in love and entered the "Kingdom" of my Lover. To me, that was as glorious and serious as it gets! While my writings may not adhere to the status quo at times, I do hope at the very least they provide stimulation for serious contemplation. Blessings to all. Bill Taylor

Sheep In The Wilderness
There are a staggering number of Jesus lovers who are disenfranchised from church life. This is not a theory but rather a fact. You likely know a few yourself. While their stories are all unique they do have this one thing in common: They all feel equally lost! Most have been discarded as X Sheep
. Some have been unceremoniously labeled, Never Was Sheep
. And here’s my own personal favorite: They Left Jesus Sheep
. Regardless of how cutting these labels are, they do make us feel
