Book Description
A VOYA Poetry Pick: Award-winning author Jessie Haas takes readers on a ride back in time to celebrate the special bond between horses and humans “We have all been changed by the horse, for better and worse.” —Jessie Haas Jessie Haas travels back sixty-five million years—from 5000 BCE to the present day—in 104 poems about our equine friends. Horses have shared some of the most significant moments in human history. In these lyrical and poignant pieces—some written from the horse’s point of view—readers will meet chariot racers, knights’ steeds, horse whisperers, even Pegasus, the winged horse. In one moving poem, a compassionate colt befriends a lonely man; in another, a starving soldier shares a meal with his mount. Whether it’s the thundering herd of Genghis Khan or a Dutch farmer shielding his horse from the Nazis, these transportive free-verse poems reveal how horses have influenced and enriched our lives. Hoofprints is an awe-inspiring journey through history as we gallop alongside horse and rider and experience “the mid-air moment” when “everything may yet / turn out all right.” This ebook includes a bibliography and a glossary of equine terminology.

Book Description
59 “Getting a horse to put both eyes on you is easy, but getting the trust to keep them is another story.” In this book of personal stories, the author takes us on an inspiring trail ride exploring the most important identities in life, issues of the heart, and the purpose for it all. She metaphorically explains how her horsemanship training helped her develop a better relationship with her horse, with other people, and most of all with her master, Jesus Christ. “Lord, teach me how to put both eyes on you and have unbridled faith.” ***** “The book was great insight into the life and heart of a girl and her horse. I would not consider myself a horse person, but found myself very interested. It was truly amazing to watch how the simple relationship between the master and the horse related so much to our relationship with God. I found the book to be educational, encouraging, and equipping in my walk with the Lord. I think this book would be a great asset to many people on the journey of life, no matter what trail they may be on.” —Pastor Nathan Hawkins, Associate Pastor Trinity Baptist Church in Asheville, North Carolina Coming Soon: “Hoofprints Along the Way” If you like Hoofprints from Heaven, then you’re going to love this next book as Beverly goes deeper into how two-eyed trust with our Creator impacts our relationships with others.

Book Description
Revered by Buddhists in the United States and China, Master Sheng-yen shares his wisdom and teachings in this first comprehensive English primer of Chan, the Chinese tradition of Buddhism that inspired Japanese Zen. Often misunderstood as a system of mind games, the Chan path leads to enlightenment through apparent contradiction. While demanding the mental and physical discipline of traditional Buddhist doctrine, it asserts that wisdom (Buddha-nature) is innate and immediate in all living beings, and thus not to be achieved through devotion to the strictures of religious practice. You arrive without departing. Master Sheng-yen provides an unprecedented understanding of Chan, its precepts, and its practice. Beginning with a basic overview of Buddhism and meditation, Hoofprint of the Ox details the progressive mental exercises traditionally followed by all Buddhists. Known as the Three Disciplines, these procedures develop moral purity, meditative concentration, and enlightening insight through the "stilling" of the mind. Master Sheng-yen then expounds Chan Buddhism, recounting its centuries-old history in China and illuminating its fundamental tenets. He contemplates the nature of Buddhahood, specifies the physical and mental prerequisites for beginning Chan practice, and humbly considers what it means to be an enlightened Chan master. Drawing its title from a famous series of pictures that symbolizes the Chan path as the search of an ox-herd for his wayward ox, Hoofprint of the Ox is an inspirational guide to self-discovery through mental transformation. A profound contribution to Western understanding of Chan and Zen, this book is intended for practicing Buddhists as well as anyone interested in learning about the Buddhist path.
