With the right team, miracles can happen. Even during a global pandemic. Welcome to the story of Mighty Heart, a one-eyed bay colt who captured the attention of horse racing fans all over the world when he won the 2020 Queen’s Plate, Canada’s iconic Thoroughbred race, at Woodbine racetrack. It is the comeback story of a horse whose outlook was bleak after his first few disappointing races, and got worse when the pandemic largely shut down horse racing. It is the comeback story of an owner, Larry Cordes, who had stepped away from racing after suffering a series of personal tragedies. Larry was always smitten with horses and racing, and became an owner when his late wife gave him a birthday gift of a racehorse. A leader in the heavy machine industry in Ontario, Larry’s love for horses became a warm and fulfilling family affair as his wife and daughters joined him in his fabulous obsessions. But the tight-knit group was rocked by the deaths of three family members that forever changed their perspectives on life and Larry, crestfallen, stepped away from his passion. Nine years later, he returned with renewed love for horse racing, and an idea to breed his own horse with the help of some of the finest minds in Ontario’s Thoroughbred industry. It is a heartwarming, comeback story—all because of a little horse that could. Run With a Mighty Heart is a refreshing, joyful read that is full of hope and wonder—showcasing that it truly takes a team to overcome the hurdles that we face in life. We are left cheering at the end.

In the 21st Century, two uneasy nations are at the brink of war. The Confederacy, having long given up slavery, shows the world how all men and women are brothers and sisters. In the embittered United States, however, men and women are joined only by the forces which dominate their lives - a hellish industrial state, controlling the population with the help of a Christian Fundamentalist television preacher, and the grim agents of the Industrial Protection Agency. But there is hope in the midst of chaos, an Underground Railroad taking workers from the North to the South. This is the story of one man's emotional and spiritual odyssey as he travels the danger-filled path to the Confederacy.

Life is very difficult as a teen girl, not to mention trying to live to glorify God on top of all the peer pressure that we encounter on a day-to-day basis. It is easy for us to oftentimes shy away or blend in with the crowd, but God is calling us to step out of the shadows and do otherwise. He is calling each of us to accept His grace and offer of salvation. He is also guiding us from where we are so that we can let others see His glory shining through us. We are young and the devil is constantly telling us that we are not worthy, or that no one would listen to us if we shared the gospel. The opposite is true. God knows we are capable of doing all things through Christ who strengthens us, even if we are young. Join in on the 365-day journey to change your life and the world around you for the better, so that more people can have the opportunity to rely on God’s promises. This is your time to shine, child of God. Come, read, and find rest in the One who saves, loves, and works through you. God bless you.
