Book Description
The little girl reached her small hand through the rails of the fence I was tied to and touched my poor sunburned face. For just a moment I touched her back. As her fingers left my face she said to me, "I hope you find a nice home." Her father didn't say it, but he knew that probably wasn't going to happen. The pair moved down the aisle of the auction barn away from me, our brief encounter already forgotten. Will this horse doomed for slaughter be ransomed? Author Lynn Baber helps Shiner, the lost son of a prize Appaloosa mare, share his true story of rescue in He Came Looking For Me. But Shiner's story is more than just a simple tale of how two horses returned to their real home, it is the story of promise and victory for each one of us in a relationship with Jesus Christ. No matter how far away, how alone, how defeated you feel today, there is One who is searching for you and will redeem you just when you are most in need. Shiner came home. Discover how you can, too. From team building, to horsemanship, to Christian victory, Lynn Baber shares inspirational and practical messages in a style that runs the gamut from high-energy to porch swing casual. Join Lynn Baber for this inspirational tale of two wayward horses and find for yourself the peace and joy that come from finding a home in God.

Everything changes when a handsome stranger rides off into the night on Dusty’s horse There’s no way around it: Dusty’s horse Tazz needs to be put down. Once a champion jumper, Tazz can barely walk now due to hoof pain. And that’s not the only thing that’s wrong in Dusty’s life. Since her mother’s death, Dusty’s dad hasn’t stopped drinking—even after his drunk driving put Dusty in the hospital with a now-chronic back injury. Why don’t they just put me down too? she wonders. While Dusty is giving Tazz one last grooming, his ears suddenly prick up as a stranger approaches: a young boy with an otherworldly beauty. He offers to take Tazz with him, and the two race off into the distance as though Tazz were in perfect health, with the boy perched on his back. Who could this person be? And what is he doing here? It’s only when Dusty returns to school the next day that she hears about the boy who was killed. When she sees his photo in the newspaper, she knows that he’s the mysterious guy who rode off on Tazz. What she doesn’t know is that he will soon return.

After accepting Daniel’s death, Erin struggles to get her life back on track but makes a series of bad decisions and begins to live her life in a self-destructive fog of booze and pills. It’s not until she hits rock bottom that she realizes it’s up to her to decide: Was her destiny sealed with Daniel’s? Or is there life after happily ever after?
