Why a Cowboy’s Perspective?

Horses have been part of Craig’s life since childhood. He learned to ride at his grandmother’s farm and later taught horsemanship at a Christian camp. His interest in horses — and his childhood desire to be a cowboy — eventually became an unexpected source of inspiration for prayer.

Horse tack serves a practical purpose. Every piece has a job. Craig began considering whether these everyday objects could also serve as reminders of spiritual truths and encourage intentional prayer.

That idea became the foundation of this book.
