Book Review - Saddle Up With Jesus
January 16, 2010 |10:49 | Other Books By : Team X
Wanda Lynch opens with a poem tribute to her “Old Cowboy” husband. The author is enmeshed in the western culture and a part of the Cowboy Church movement. Thus, her poems tell the stories of this movement. A cowboy praising, trusting, spending time with, telling others about and growing with Jesus form the outline of her book of poetry.
Lynch’s poetry mostly centers around the Old West cattle drives when the cowboy had much time in the saddle to think, sing and dream. She exposes the spitting, cursing, drinking kind of cowboy who underneath had a heart for God and carried God’s book in his saddle bag.
This book is a fun read for those who understand the culture of the cowboy. Readers will find the poetry enjoyable. You will laugh and cry but also see the story and pilgrimage of so many who had the hard life of a cowboy and saddled up with Jesus.
