  • Amazing Grays, Amazing Grace: Lessons in Leadership, Relationship, and the Power of Faith Inspired By the Love of God and Horses

    Lynn Baber

    Paperback (Lynn Baber, June 1, 2017)
    Leadership. Relationship. Faith.Horses are born looking for a herd, dogs for a pack, and people for God. The quality of every horse, dog, or human life is the quality of the relationships enjoyed or endured. The "Amazing Grays" are two gray quarter horses who led the author from a successful career in the horse industry to ministry with horses. As Lynn says, "You can't fool God and you can't fool a horse. And, like God, horses treat you precisely as you deserve, unless they give you grace."The search for love, security, companionship, and fun is universal. Creating relationships that deliver great blessing without excessive baggage isn't easy in our complex world. Ultimately, the search for security and meaning is the search for a relationship with God. Horses are perfect study partners for anyone willing to work, learn, and practice both followership and leadership."Amazing Grays" applies simple gospel truths to your relationship with horses. The foundations of commitment, faith, and effective correction are shared in stories from the author's years as an equine professional. Gratitude, distraction, temptation, willingness, and humility are recurring characters in life with horses and your walk with Christ. Simply put, the only reason you don't enjoy perfection with your horse, your family, your neighbors, and God is that someone is either unable or unwilling to do what is needed. Quite often, that someone is you. Embark on the joyful path of building new levels of understanding and relationship with your horse. Each revelation and success with your equine partner reveals a deeper truth about your own relationship with God. The author credits her life, her successes, and the priceless gift of life with horses to God's amazing grace. Through horses, Lynn learned the truth of how deep and complete Jesus's commitment is to her -- because it's the same one she makes to her horses and knows the cost.

    Lynn Baber

    Paperback (Lynn Baber, April 1, 2019)
    Horse make Dreams. Come. True.Horses live, move, and think at the speed of trust, and unlike some people, horses can't be bought. The end of the rainbow for horse-crazy ladies is transformation; becoming more than they were alone.Horses tell you things about yourself you don't already know. Horses are as true to their nature as you are, never believing things about themselves that aren't real."I slept on that horse, and ate breakfast, lunch, and dinner on the toy Wonder pony. When I woke out of a dead sleep I cried, because I wasn't done riding my Wonder horse. From that moment, the breath of horse-crazy was instilled in me." - Jessica ShivelyUntil I was thirty-three years old, I kept the dream of horses alive in my heart, doing everything possible to ride, pet, talk to, or simply be near one. This book is for my sisters in the Realm of Horses, those living the dream and those still clinging to the hope that one day hers will come true.My years as an equine entrepreneur taught me lessons I couldn't learn anywhere else because each one either blessed my heart or broke it.Horse-crazy isn't a fad. It's true love.I'm so grateful to my Sisters of the Realm, generous women who share their memories and hearts with readers. Even if youth is a memory and you aren't living your horse dream yet, don't let it fade. For some the dream takes wings as a little girl and for others it arrives with wrinkles and grandchildren.Girls and horses go together like moss on a north-facing rock. Some of my sisters in the Realm of Horses come late to the party but have just as much fun.Why do women love horses? Husband, fathers, and sons try to understand us but often give up, accepting that the woman in his life was born that way and it's better to accept than resist. If you're in the sisterhood of horsewomen, I invite you to share the dream.
