Jude's Gentle GiantsBy Les GrahamDescription:Everyone has a dream and that is true of Jude Bonner, a young man growing up on a farm in Belgrade, Minnesota in 2005. Jude gets his wish to have and train a Percheron draft horses, Pete and Joe. As is often the case with dreams, the reality turns out to be a little more challenging than he expects. Jude finds himself learning and growing along with his colts as a bond is forged. Jude discovers what it means to have charater, integrity, discipline, love, faith and hardship. Jude battle bullies, harsh winters, money, and forgiveness with the help of family, Pete, Joe and his trusty dog , Fuzz. Book Takeaway:Life is not always fair. God gives you hurdles to jump. Dreams are made through hard work and determination. Forgiveness is hard at times, but always the right thing to do. Why the author wrote this book:I wrote this book to give young adults a true to life/modern day story of how a Christian high school kid works to make his dreams come true, while fighting bullies and challenges of life. I'm tired of seeing Amish, 1800's, dragons, and serpents as main themes of young adult books. |
