Synopsis

When a cowboy takes a look at life, his sense of purpose and meaning is shaped by God's creation and the rugged terrain of the landscape he covers on horseback. Alongside the rugged and breathtaking paintings of award-winning artist Chris Owen, author Armour Patterson, a child of the western landscape, explores the wisdom cowboys offer every man:

• A cowboy's honor leads the way
• Rough trails are great teachers
• Faith is the best companion for the journey
• Patience gets the job done
• Courage is a cowboy's lifeline

An every-occasion gift for fans of cowboy art and stories and anyone who longs to sit back in the saddle and take in the ideals and inspiration of the West.

Review:

"I enjoyed reading A Look at Life from the Saddle and it is done very well. The quotes and pictures enhance the work. I especially like the biblical references throughout the book. Job well done!"
―Danny Forshee, Lead Pastor, Great Hills Baptist Church, Austin, TX

"What a handsome book...and unique! Perfect for guys―but also attractive to a lot of us gals! Congratulations, Armour"
―June Hunt, Founder, CEO, CSO of Hope for the Heart

"What a little jewel of a book! A Look at Life from the Saddle is a treasure trove of wisdom from the word of God adorned with the cowboy mystique that permeates so much of America's character. Armour Patterson's piercing prose and Chris Owen's arresting paintings depicting the cowboy life are a terrific combination. I cannot imagine many boys of any age who would not love this book."
―Dr. Richard Land, President of The Southern Baptist Convention's Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission

"If I had a son, I would read to him from this book while tucking him in every night. Finding beauty, elegance, and manliness in one place is rare. You will find them all and more here."
―Chuck Kelley, President of New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary
