Hope . . . From the Heart of Horses explores and celebrates the relationship and bond possible between horses and humans. Each chapter offers a life lesson about trusting one's instincts, honestly addressing emotions, achieving clarity in communications, and releasing negative thoughts. Because survival depends on being highly tuned to the thoughts and feelings of others, horses sense human intentions rather than what a person offers in facial expressions, which creates a remarkable effect on the relationship between these two distinctly different species.

Over the next few years they continued to lose Lina. She communicated her acute discomfort by biting, screaming, hitting, laughing maniacally, and throwing violent tantrums.

I share life-changing moments, including some miracles, with a sincere and sometimes lighthearted spirit (laughter is good medicine). And I speak openly about my faith, sharing how God's Word is my moral compass.Hope Blvd is a journey of hope, faith, and ...

We all want to make sense of life—the good, the painful, the miraculous. Through eight lyrical and reflective essays, one of today's most thoughtful spiritual writers, Steven Garber, explores the idea of the "proximate"—a word from the Latin "proximatus," to draw near. Garber invites us to draw near to the deepest realities of life and to see with greater clarity and compassion—recognizing what is true, right, and beautiful in the world, even as we see the suffering all around us.

He is a Jew who was raised during the extreme anti-Semitism of the Great Depression. Having witnessed the fruits of the New Deal firsthand, Beir became a Roosevelt scholar.
