"God Bless My Horse", the title poem of my book, is a poem that tells how God has blessed this man's horse and by blessing his horse, has blessed the man's entire life, and all the stupid, crazy things he (and I) have ever done. While reading this book, you will see that, not only this poem, but the whole book actually tells the stories from the view of a young man during his developing spiritual journey through life, to an older man, who thrives on his relationship with GOD. Throughout it all, God has always been there! In this book, a lifetime of thoughts, humor, and emotions are written in poetry, with a distinct West Texas flavor, including the unique dialog and colloquialisms of the people of the area. Many of the poems are of the old west, telling tales of cowboys, Native Americans, and horses. Others talk about my working experiences as a lineman and with the oilfields. All the poems are stories of my life experiences and how I talked to God throughout these experiences. Throughout the book is the expression of my strong Christian faith and love for the one true God. It is my expressed wish that anyone who reads this book will not only enjoy the book, but that they will also receive the good news of God's love and grace provided by his son, Jesus.

The Bible says, No test or temptation that comes your way is beyond the course of what others have had to face. All you need to remember is that God will never let you down; he’ll never let you be pushed past your limit; he’ll always be there to help you come through it. (1 Corinthians 10:13 MSG) Sometimes, however, He takes you right up to the edge. My life started on this edge at birth. Read about my journey from this edge of life and near-death experiences and surgeries to a normal life, followed by a trip back to the edge with COVID and my triumphant victory through Christ to motherhood, where our son and I live to serve the Lord today. The lighthouse on the front cover serves as a reminder that God is always present, watching over us, just as the lighthouse constantly watches over the sea to keep ships safe from life-threatening dangers.

It makes you feel warm, content, and makes you smile. If you know Bob Crout, you will understand why he wrote this book.

Robert Echols, United States District Judge (retired) Dr. Crout has written a wonderful book for children. The book moves me deeply and I am so thankful that he chose to use my little song in his book. Our Creator loves beauty and a lot of that beauty is seen so sweetly in this book.

Two months after a new horse was delivered to her ranch, Marie Timm found herself slammed into the corral dirt, barely escaping a flying hoof aimed at her head. Her ribs were badly bruised, a shoulder was nearly broken, and she sustained a mild concussion. Those injuries paled in comparison to the hurt welling up from her heart. Astounded, confused, and angry that a horse portrayed to her as gentle and willing could be so much the opposite, and when the former owners refused to take this horse back, she began a journey of rehabilitation for him. The goal would only be to procure a new owner or, if necessary, have him humanely destroyed. What ensued was not just a retraining for the horse, but a surprising journey of her own directed by Gods gentle hand and voice. That voice speaks to everyone who is willing to listen.

Discover inner strength and wisdom by bringing the power of the equine spirit to life with spells, meditations, and creative visualization. Along with the bear, horses are a primary creature associated with shamanism and traditions influenced by it. They appear in 25,000-year-old cave paintings, such as those at Lascaux. They find a role in the modern African diaspora traditions such as Haitian Vodou, whose devotees are called “horses” for the spirits who ride them during trances. The spirit of the horse exists in the subconscious minds of humans and takes shape in various forms, whether as a symbol of fertility in the land, as in Celtic mythology, or as a psychopomp, which leads the dead to the next world. The horse has made its way into the current of our collective unconscious as a universal archetype. Horse Magick contains spells, rituals, chants, and meditations for many purposes, loosely based around equine imagery. Numerous traditions are represented, as are many deities, including Athena, Epona, and Baba Yaga. No contact with actual horses is required. Through the use of spells and rituals, readers are able to magickally ride to their chosen destinies and fulfill their desires. Workings involve crystals, candles, and Tarot cards, items easily accessible for most readers.
