Hope Rising
Kim Meeder encourages us to follow a horse where no one else can tread, through the minefield of pain that surrounds a broken child’s soul. From a mistreated horse to an emotionally starved child and back again, a torrent of love revives their barren places.
In the presence of unconditional love, a mute girl speaks for the first time. A defiant teenager teaches a horse to trust again, and in the process, 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, where wounded spirits break the chains of the past and run free. Crystal Peaks Youth Ranch is a place where all that He is—love, joy, peace—is moving. It is a place of His hope rising.
