Hope Rising

I heard Kim Meeder interviewed on Focus on the Family several months ago and was excited to recently find her book Hope Rising at our local library. Kim and her husband run the Crystal Peaks Youth Ranch in Oregon where they rescue horses. nurse them back to health and then pair them with hurting kids and teens in their programs. Hope Rising compiles many stories of horses that were near death being restored and then going on to help break down the walls around the hearts of deeply hurting kids. Many stories are examples of God's provision for the needs of the ranch as well as the families they serve in their riding lesson and racing programs. The work being done at this ranch is truly amazing. Hope Rising is an inspiring peek into the lives being changed with the help of some very special horses.
