Fierce Beauty



I have just finished reading Fierce Beauty by Kim Meeder.  The book was full of wonderful stories.  Most of them left you wanting to know more.  Which she left you little notes at the end of the chapter to let you know which of her other book you could fine more on, which I thought was nice.  The whole meaning of the book was to realize that women are more than just beauty on the outside.  She beckons the reader to realize their own strength within, that which we are given by Christ.   

The author loses her parents in an accident at a very early age.  She and her two sisters go to love with their maternal grandmother.  I loved the stories of her “Mimi”.  She was a strong person to put aside her grief in the death of her daughter to devote her life in raising her granddaughters.  God uses the author’s tragic experience as a young girl to touch other hurting children.

I really related to the author in the aspect that she and her husband run a ranch for injured and abused horses.  She tells stories about the children who come and learn to care for the horses as a way to heal their sometime troubled souls. The real meat of the book wants you to learn through her stories how to transform, surrender, and serve your King.  I feel she gets this across to the reader.  At times it drags, but all in all a good read.
