Hope Rising : Stories from the Ranch of Rescued Dreams

Rating:
Summary: "Hope Rising" within me
Review: This is truly an incredible book. The underlying theme throughout is that we are all broken, hurting people, but that through our own experiences, we become equipped to reach out and offer love and compassion to others. Mistreated and neglected horses become instrumental in the healing of abused and hurt children, and the children offer healing to the horses. Even the very land where the ranch is located was undesirable and "mistreated," and they planted "rejected" trees from local nurseries. The short stories give glimpses of countless miracles worked by the hand of God and how a little faith can go a long way in turning something broken and seemingly undesirable into a beautiful place where healing and absolute miracles are seen every day. This is definitely a book to read with tissues in hand, but it is well worth the tears.

Summary: Great youth and adult read!
Review: What a pleasure to read this book to see how Kim and Troy are being used to change the lives of horses and young people.

If you have a passion for mistreated horses or disadvantaged youth, you will enjoy this easy read. Also, if this is your passion, then buying the book to support their program should be reason enough to purchase a new copy of the book!!!

The short story format makes for a pleasurable read for a busy person.

Be sure to have your tissue in hand to dry your tears of sadness and joy.
