He Came Looking for Me: A Horse's True Story of Hope and Redemption - Paperback

by Lynn Baber (Author)

Experience this compelling and uplifting story of a real horse in desperate need of rescue - and how God delivered it in the nick of time.

The best stories are often true; with promising beginnings, wandering through change and uncertainty, falling into the darkest of pits, then joyful rising to heartwarming, blissful endings. That's the story of Shiner and his brother, Ace, born as Princes of the Pasture, finding a new family, then sold into confusion and despair.

Until the author and her husband were sent to find them and bring them home.

Only the hand of God could arrange events with the precise sequence and timing to give this story life - and a happy ending.

Shiner and Ace were rescued at the very moment it was most needed. Their story, however, is for everyone who has ever felt hopeless or abandoned. There is hope. There is something bright and beautiful ahead. "He Came Looking for Me' is a message that Jesus's promise of a mansion in heaven is one you can believe in.

Need proof? Shiner shares part of the story in his own unique equine way. If you loved reading "Black Beauty," you'll love this book. Even better, Shiner is a real horse in Weatherford, Texas.

Book #2 in the Gospel Horse Series.

Author Biography

If there's anything special about me at all, it is that I am profoundly simple. It wasn't always that way. Some of the more interesting lessons learned about simplicity came from the stallions I trained over many years. The only way to get a 1500 pound mass of hairy testosterone to offer obedience and loyalty is to earn it. You can't fool God and you can't fool a horse. They can spot "fake" from a thousand yards away. No blessing is complete until it is shared with others. I share experiences drawn from time served as an introverted preteen, an extroverted teen, a figure skater, a college drop-out living in an unfinished basement, a non-traditional college graduate, two-time grad school drop-out, successful business consultant and professional speaker, a battered wife, a cherished wife of over thirty years, an anti-politician in politics, a community leader, a greener-than-green horse owner, a National and World Champion equine professional, and as a secure and blessed child of God. Each one of us has a unique story to tell and a purpose. If you're reading this I can assure you that God has a plan for your life - and He has a sense of humor. It was gratifying to discover that messages I delivered as a motivational speaker were correct. Today I know where those principles are found in the God's Word. What is true is always true - in every era, circumstance, and location.
