Half Broke: A MemoirAt the start of this remarkable story of recovery, healing, and redemption, Ginger Gaffney answers a call to help retrain the troubled horses at an alternative prison ranch in New Mexico, a facility run entirely by the prisoners. The horses are scavenging through the dumpsters, kicking and running down the residents when they bring the trash out after meals. One horse is severely injured. The horses and residents arrive at the ranch broken in one way

At the start of this remarkable story of recovery, healing, and redemption, Ginger Gaffney answers a call to help retrain the troubled horses at an alternative prison ranch in New Mexico, a facility run entirely by the prisoners. The horses are scavenging through the dumpsters, kicking and running down the residents when they bring the trash out after meals. One horse is severely injured.

The horses and residents arrive at the ranch broken in one way or many: the horses are defensive and terrified, while the residents, some battling drug and alcohol addictions, are emotionally and physically shattered. With deep insight into how animals and humans communicate through posture, body language, and honesty of spirit, Gaffney walks us through her struggle to train the untrainable.

Gaffney peels away the layers of her own story--a solitary childhood, painful introversion, and a transformative connection with her first horse, a filly named Belle--and she, too, learns to trust people as much as she trusts horses. As her year-long odyssey builds toward a dramatic conclusion, the group experiences triumphs and failures, brave recoveries and relapses, as well as betrayals and moving stories of trust and belonging.

Resonant, smart, and beautifully written, Half Broke tears at the heart of what it takes to find wholeness after years of trauma and addiction and offers profound insight on how working with animals can satisfy our universal need for connection.

Great multi pack soap for all needs
I love this soap multipack, they all smell great and lather really well. They is a soap for every need in here, whether you need a soap to brighten dark marks or a soap with a great scent or hydrating, this pack has it. My skin feels good, not too dry but at the same time not too greasy or that feeling of residual stuff. Overall great quality soaps.

Hands Down the Best Study Bible Available Today
Format: Imitation Leather
I own several MacArthur study bibles and they never fail to impress me. He was one of the best modern scholars in the world and his wealth of knowledge shows in these study bibles. From the very beginning he offers short lectures on how the Bible came to be, why we should read it, how to study it and then we dive in and his teachings are nothing short of fascinating and inspiring. Now, these bibles are of course big and heavy, it’s not a church bible by all means. But perfect for your personal studies at home or for a Bible study group. His notes are the perfect guidance to aid you becoming richer in your understanding of the scripture and the Gospels. The pages are vibrant and the text is easy to read, including the notes, however some might need magnification. Again they are large and a bit heavy just so you know. However they contain a wealth of knowledge that few other study bibles offer. I wholeheartedly recommend this or any of the MacArthur study bibles. For yourself, for a gift, for anyone who wants to go deeper on Gods word. The price is right and well worth it.

A Treasure for Serious Bible Study
Format: Imitation Leather
I couldn’t be more pleased with the MacArthur Study Bible, 2nd Edition in soft leather. From the moment I opened it, I could feel the quality—the soft, supple leather cover is elegant yet durable, and it feels wonderful in the hands. The craftsmanship is excellent, making it a Bible I know will last for years. The content is truly where this Bible shines. John MacArthur’s study notes are incredibly thorough, rooted in sound doctrine, and provide rich historical and theological context. The introductions to each book, cross-references, and maps have deepened my understanding of Scripture in ways I didn’t expect. This isn’t just a Bible for casual reading—it’s designed for believers who want to grow in knowledge and truth. I also appreciate the clarity of the layout. The font is readable, the notes are organized well, and there’s enough margin space for light note-taking. Whether you’re a pastor, student, or someone who simply wants to dig deeper into God’s Word, this Bible is an invaluable tool.
