Increase your faith with this series of short 2-minute devotions. They relate the scriptures to horsemanship, giving the reader and rider a new insight into God's word. Even if you have no experience with horses whatsoever, you can glean amazing vision into the workings of God through your relationship with Him.
Pauline Creeden is an award-winning author, horse trainer, and overall book ninja. She becomes the main character in each of her stories, and because she has ADD, she will get bored if she pretends to be one person for too long.
Armored Hearts, her joint effort with author Melissa Turner Lee, has been a #1 Bestseller in Christian Fantasy and been awarded the Crowned Heart for Excellence by InDtale Magazine. Her debut novel, Sanctuary, won 1st Place Christian YA Title 2013 Dante Rosetti Award and 2014 Gold Award for First Place YA Horror Novel.
Each devotional is short, but effectively stating a thought-provoking concept. My kids enjoyed the lessons on caring for horses along with how it applied to their lives. We used it in a quick devotional and prayer time before school each morning. Some parts felt repetitive, but the kids enjoyed it just the same. I expounded on certain themes with my own explanations or stories. A great option for busy lives or those in a stressful season where "simple" is best.
Each devotional is short but very inspiring. We have two horses and this was very well put together with scriptures. I will be using this book again next year. Great writing Pauline.
