Download or read book Trust What a Horse Taught Me About God written by Marie Timm and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2014-06-02 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two months after a new horse was delivered to her ranch, Marie Timm found herself slammed into the corral dirt, barely escaping a flying hoof aimed at her head. Her ribs were badly bruised, a shoulder was nearly broken, and she sustained a mild concussion. Those injuries paled in comparison to the hurt welling up from her heart. Astounded, confused, and angry that a horse portrayed to her as gentle and willing could be so much the opposite, and when the former owners refused to take this horse back, she began a journey of rehabilitation for him. The goal would only be to procure a new owner or, if necessary, have him humanely destroyed. What ensued was not just a retraining for the horse, but a surprising journey of her own directed by Gods gentle hand and voice. That voice speaks to everyone who is willing to listen.

That means they're the kind of lives God gets excited about. While the world worships beauty and power and wealth, God hides his glory in the simple, the mundane, the foolish, working in unawesome people, things, and places.In our day of celebrity worship and online posturing, this is a refreshing, even transformative way of understanding God and our place in his creation. It urges us to treasure a life of simplicity, to love those whom the world passes by, to work for God's glory rather than our own. And it demonstrates that God has always been the Lord of the cross--a Savior who hides his grace in unattractive, inglorious places.Your God Is Too Glorious reminds readers that while a quiet life may look unimpressive to the world, it's the regular, everyday people that God tends to use to do his most important work.

Download or read book Think Like a Horse written by Grant Golliher and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2022-05-31 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Think Like a Horse, veteran “horse whisperer” and leadership expert Grant Golliher applies his hard-won horse sense to teach invaluable lessons anyone can use to live a fuller, more successful life. Grant Golliher is what some would call a “horse whisperer,” able to get a wild horse to calmly accept a saddle and a rider without the use of force. Through training thousands of horses, many traumatized or abused, Golliher was able to learn essential lessons about communication, boundaries, fairness, trust, and respect—lessons that apply not just to horses but to humans as well. It’s why celebrities, Fortune 500 executives, professional coaches, supreme court justices, and even ordinary families from around the world flock to his Wyoming ranch every year to take part in what one CEO called “the most transformational experience I have ever encountered.” Horse whispering may sound like magic, but as Grant explains in Think Like a Horse, it’s not really all that mysterious. The lessons he shares are as fundamental and ageless as the relationship between horses, the people who ride them, and the beauty of the West. In fact, it’s an approach that anyone can learn, and should learn, in order to better understand our common humanity, overcome trauma, foster more fulfilled relationships, and unlock untapped potential in virtually every aspect of our lives. All you have to do is think like a horse.
Download or read book God Has a Name written by John Mark Comer and published by Thomas Nelson. This book was released on 2017-03-28 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: God Has a Name is a simple yet profound guide to understanding God in a new light--focusing on what God says about himself. This one shift has the potential to radically alter how you relate to God, not as a doctrine, but as a relational being who responds to you in an elastic, back-and-forth way. In God Has a Name, John Mark Comer takes you line by line through Exodus 34:6-8--Yahweh's self-revelation on Mount Sinai, one of the most quoted passages in the Bible. Along the way, Comer addresses some of the most profound questions he came across as he studied these noted lines in Exodus, including: Why do we feel this gap between us and God? Could it be that a lot of what we think about God is wrong? Not all wrong, but wrong enough to mess up how we relate to him? What if our "God" is really a projection of our own identity, ideas, and desires? What if the real God is different, but far better than we could ever imagine? No matter where you are in your spiritual journey, the act of learning who God is just might surprise you--and change everything.
Download or read book On Freedom s Wings written by J. H. Lee and published by . This book was released on 2019-04-17 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I watched the young horses frolic in our front yard. They reared up, spun in a circle and raced to the end of the fence. Their spontaneous joy and delight with life radiated from them as they danced with the wings of the wind in liberty, unfettered and free. "Oh, Father God, they are so beautiful," I breathed. With tender love, so gentle in its touch, God's Spirit whispered to mine, "That is who you are to me. You are beautiful. Just as you are right now." I watched the frolicking foals continue their lively games, as I pondered these thoughts. I love and value horses for the beauty of who they are, not because of what they can do. That day, God made a bridge and gave me a nudge to help me understand that he loves me the same way. He loves and delights in me because of the beauty of who he made me to be. My value is not hinged to what I do. Instead, it is an intrinsic part of my being that God has woven into me. I asked God to help me live in the freedom of this truth, for I longed to live life with the same liberty as the foals...to be unfettered from the bonds of expectations...to be able to live life...On freedom's wings. Like the story above, this book contains horse stories on faith, hope, and love God as used to teach me in my journey of learning to live as he created me to be - in liberty, unfettered and free. I hope they will encourage your heart.
