Review # 1 was written on 2009-11-12 00:00:00 Louis Prevost This book is inspirational and challenging. Kim and Laurie tell a story that had me asking "How much do we really want to sacrifice to help others?" I loved Kim's other 2 books'Hope Rising and A Bridge Called Hope'this one had a different feel to it, because it is about Laurie, one of the volunteers at Crystal Peaks Youth Ranch who became a member of the staff. The other books were about the children and horses they rescue at the ranch. Laurie, rescues a very sick, neglected dog who then helps her through a season of healing and personal growth. The lessons she learns, as she takes on the responsibility of nurturing this dog, hold valuable lessons for each of us. Emotionally touching, Blind Hope is a good story for animal lovers and also for anyone who has questioned God about the tough stuff in their life. It can be read by teens and older children, and would be a great tool to use when teaching about animal rescue. I read this in Kindle.

Review # 2 was written on 2014-10-09 00:00:00 Michael Moore Laurie is a broken soul who rescues a broken dog. The book is a conversation between Laurie and Kim as they talk about how Mia, the dog, has rescued Laurie. I read the brief description on the website before choosing to review this book. Like many other readers I was surprised to find this was a book about a woman's spiritual journey and very little about a dog. This wouldn't have been so bad if the writing style had been clearer. The format is conversations between the two authors and it was so stilted. I seriously hope they don't talk this way with each other in reality. It was very difficult to get into the story, because there just wasn't one. While the insights were helpful to the author, they seemed very overdone and contrived. I wouldn't recommend this book since there are so many others out there that have clearer spiritual insights. I received this book free of charge from WaterBrook Multnomah in exchange for my honest review.
