Country Soul: Inspiring Stories of Heartache Turned into Hope

by Cara Whitney, "Larry the Cable Guy" Dan Whitney (Foreword by)

Overview

Is the path ahead unclear? Does life feel uncertain and full of worry and anxiety? The pages of Country Soul are filled with Scripture, stories, takeaways, and encouragement that will get your faith moving. Like many of us, Cara Whitney and her husband, Dan (Larry the Cable Guy), have experienced mountaintops and valleys in life. The good news they discovered along the way is that we don't have to go it alone. God's Word guides our steps, leading us through the ups and downs of our faith journey.  

This book is filled with heartwarming stories--30 compelling journeys of faith about men and women from all walks of life who have turned heartaches into hope and setbacks into victory.  

Most of the stories are drawn from ordinary everyday folks just like you: 

• A Nebraska rancher who survived cancer and heart disease . . . and is now telling others how to break free from a far worse disease: sin
• A wounded warrior who found healing in Christ . . . not to mention a brand-new life! 
• A coal miner's daughter who met Jesus in a West Virginia holler . . . and is committed to following Him to the ends of the earth 

With full-color color photos, a presentation page, and a ribbon marker, Country Soul is a thoughtful gift for:

• Horse lovers
• Believers who need a little faith lift
• Birthdays, Christmas, Mother's Day, and Father's Day
• Friends and loved ones going through difficult times

Refresh your soul as you rediscover that no matter how hard life gets, you can trust God.

Readers of Country Soul will also enjoy Cara Whitney's previous books, Unbridled Faith and Fields of Grace.

About the Author

Cara Whitney grew up on a cattle farm in Northern Wisconsin. After spending a decade as a radio personality in markets that included Las Vegas, she found herself in search of that simpler life everyone talks about. She soon discovered that there is no such thing as a simple life, but instead your best lived life is one that includes a relationship with Jesus Christ. She is the author of Fields of Grace and the ECPA bestselling book Unbridled Faith and has appeared on Fox and Friends and RFD-TV, among others. Cara lives with her husband Dan (“Larry the Cable Guy”) and two kids on a horse farm in Nebraska.
