About Unbridled Faith: 100 Devotions From The Horse Farm

Product Description Explore the timeless wisdom of God's Word through this beautiful horse devotional. Horses nuzzle their way into our hearts and have a way of teaching us a lot about ourselves, about life, and even about God. Just ask horse enthusiast Cara Whitney, wife of comedian and actor Dan Whitney (aka Larry the Cable Guy). Through years spent working with these majestic animals, Cara Whitney has learned countless spiritual lessons that have brought her closer to God. She shares those stories in Unbridled Faith.  In 100 heartfelt devotions with stunning photography, you'll: Learn about being flexible in your faith from a gangly legged colt. Discover the secret to overcoming temptation through a horse's "sneak and eat" game. From a pony with a sweet tooth, find out why we should be glad God doesn't answer yes to all of our prayers. Be reminded that you are priceless to God by a one-eyed quarter horse named Roanie.   This devotional is perfect for anyone who adores horses and the simple farm life.  About the Author Cara Whitney grew up on a cattle farm in Northern Wisconsin. After spending a decade as a radio personality in markets that included Las Vegas, she found herself in search of that simpler life everyone talks about. She soon discovered that there is no such thing as a simple life, but instead your best lived life is one that includes a relationship with Jesus Christ. She is the author of Fields of Grace and the ECPA bestselling book Unbridled Faith and has appeared on Fox and Friends and RFD-TV, among others. Cara lives with her husband Dan (“Larry the Cable Guy”) and two kids on a horse farm in Nebraska. Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.

ISBN: 978-1-4003-0331-1 CHAPTER 1 Welcome to the Barn Party "Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep." Luke 15:6 My funny horse is the life of the barn party. His name is Sven, but I call him Fat Benny. He can gain five pounds just by looking at grass (just like my husband with a cheeseburger). He is very vocal, so if he sees me, he will whinny. But as big as he is, his whinny is very wimpy. Fat Benny knows he's fat, so if he wants something on the other side of the fence, he lays on the fence until it collapses and just rolls over the top of it.

However, if you and I want to share the joy of heaven, we need to find our greatest joy in salvation. Jesus told us that there will be "more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent" (Luke 15:7).

But as citizens of the kingdom of God, we should put our salvation — and that of those around us — at the top of our lists of things that bring us joy. Think of it: the angels rejoice when one of God's human creations comes to faith in Him. If you have accepted Jesus as your Savior, the heavenly beings celebrated when you confessed Him as Lord. There will be a party in heaven for you! Now, doesn't that make you want to kick up your heels? Lord, thank You for the gift of salvation — and the great celebration that awaits Your followers in heaven, amen.CHAPTER 2 It's Okay to Not Be Okay "I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master's business. Instead, I have called you friends." John 15:15 Horses are amazing animals. When I feel sad or depressed, my horses seem to sense my pain. They turn their ears toward me and even lean into me. In those moments, they aren't just sweet creatures to ride, train, and enjoy; instead, they are my friends. Still, even if we're surrounded by comforting f
