Book excerpt: In 1885, Daisy Mary Fields lives with her parents and four sisters on Thunder Ranch in the Arizona Territory, right outside the gates of Fort Huachuca – the regimental headquarters of the U.S. Army Fourth Cavalry. When Captain Brian Andrews comes to Thunder Ranch to buy horses, he is shown the Thoroughbred remounts that Daisy's father raises in hopes of providing faster and stronger horses for the soldiers. Though the army isn't convinced that the blood of fragile, hot-headed racehorses is what the cavalry needs, Daisy is swept away by the handsome young captain from the start – though the first time she sees him, she's wearing men's clothes and he takes her for a teenage boy. To prove their worth and save the ranch, it falls to Daisy to ride one of the ranch's Thoroughbred stallions in a race against the tough little mustang cavalry horses. But she'll have to ride against Captain Andrews, who does not want to marry a woman who would compete with him. Daisy can only maintain her boy's disguise and hope he doesn't find out. The fate of Thunder Ranch and of Daisy herself all rides on one four-mile race through the Arizona mountains.

Download or read book The Secret Place of Thunder written by John Starke and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2023-02-21 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do we feel like we are always performing? Where does this impulse come from? As John Starke shows in The Secret Place of Thunder, our modern world has internalized the idea that the markers of having an admirable and successful life are primarily visible. It leads us to believe that a sense of self-worth and identity are metrics to be displayed. The performance of the self has become more important than the reality. We live as if the most important things about us are to be performed before others; that our deepest happiness will come from being who others think we ought to be. But when Jesus says, "Do not practice your righteousness before others," he is leading us to believe that the most important things about us are hidden. How does the Bible lead us to live primarily before God? How does Jesus lead us to wholeness? Jesus teaches us to live, not for the eyes of others or even for ourselves, but in the secret place where our Father in heaven sees and rewards.

Download or read book Blood and Thunder written by Hampton Sides and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2007-10-09 with total page 626 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • From the author of Ghost Soldiers comes an eye-opening history of the American conquest of the West—"a story full of authority and color, truth and prophecy" (The New York Times Book Review). In the summer of 1846, the Army of the West marched through Santa Fe, en route to invade and occupy the Western territories claimed by Mexico. Fueled by the new ideology of “Manifest Destiny,” this land grab would lead to a decades-long battle between the United States and the Navajos, the fiercely resistant rulers of a huge swath of mountainous desert wilderness. At the center of this sweeping tale is Kit Carson, the trapper, scout, and soldier whose adventures made him a legend. Sides shows us how this illiterate mountain man understood and respected the Western tribes better than any other American, yet willingly followed orders that would ultimately devastate the Navajo nation. Rich in detail and spanning more than three decades, this is an essential addition to our understanding of how the West was really won.
