Hope Rising: Stories from the Ranch of Rescued Dreams by Kim Meeder (Paperback)

Autographed, with a special inscription, by Kim Meeder, author, with a note personally supporting our HALO auction. Kim is a Christian Writer, Speaker and Co-founder of Crystal Peaks Youth Ranch, a ministry for at-risk youth. Where Wounded Spirits Run Free Kim Meeder has seen horses go where no one else can tread—stepping through the minefield of a broken child's soul in a dance of trust that only God can understand. From a mistreated horse to an emotionally starved child and back again, a torrent of love washes away their barren places. Kim's ranch is a place where this miracle happens over and over again. It is a place where the impossible flourishes, where dreams survive the inferno of reality—a place where hope rises. In the presence of unconditional love, a mute girl speaks for the first time. A defiant teenager teaches a horse to trust again . . . and opens his own heart to love. A rescued horse gives a dying man his last wish. A battered girl finds love and protection in the friendship of a battered horse . . . Come visit a place where the impossible flourishes, where dreams survive the inferno of reality—a place where hope rises. Published: August 5, 2003
