About the Book Preach It, Grace

Book: Preach It, Grace A Girl’s Testimony of Faith (Dream Pony Book 5)

Author: Susan Count

Genre: Middle-Grade

Release date: February 2024

Sharing a pony worked perfectly until it didn’t.

The pony share Grace worked out with her elderly neighbor was ideal—she thought. Mr. Harvey bought the buckskin gelding’s food and Grace fed him. The pony was important to both of them so it made no sense when the elderly man sent him away.

And why won’t he tell her where?

My Thoughts on Preach It, Grace

Preach It, Grace is a wonderful book for young girls. After all, everyone little girl and even most boys dream of having a horse.  I know I did at that age.  My kids don’t dream of it because it’s always been their reality but I can tell you they’re still horse obsessed!

I really love that this book has a great message.  Within the pages, it lays out the plan for salvation and just does a wonderful job of convincing everyone that they are loved by God. 

Grace has a good heart and she loves to serve God.  I really loved how she was with her elderly neighbor.  Too often I see that most people want to avoid the elderly.  As someone who has spent years working in elder care whether in their homes or in a nursing home, it breaks my heart at the lack of family and friends who visit them.  

This book has a little bit of “mystery” and a lot of love.  If you’re looking for a good book for your tween/teen then I highly recommend this one.  It is also the fifth book in the series so you’ll have several books for them to read.  I think the set would be a great Christmas or birthday present.

Read an Excerpt

Saturday started early for Grace’s family. Serve Out Saturday was the church’s biggest outreach event all year and everyone who could turned out to help. Grace manned the church’s front door sign-in desk. After everyone got their work assignments, she ran with her clipboard for the van and headed to the retirement home. When they arrived, many residents were already gathered.

She lined up with six other girls, and they sang the gospel songs the residents requested. She searched their faces until she found Mr Harvey in the last row. Giving him a quick wave, she sang directly to him.

He didn’t sing along like many of the residents, but he stayed for the program. That counted as a victory.

Did he recognize her?

She couldn’t tell.

She stepped to the microphone. “Hello. I’m Grace. That means blessings from God.”

She grinned at the residents, and they smiled back at her. “Horses are my favorite thing, and they’re also blessings from God. If you’ve ever seen a horse, then you know they are magnificent, mighty creatures.”

Grace held a booklet high and then pointed at it to the residents. “This explains how we can know the God that blesses us. And how we can go to heaven to be with him someday. It says he sent his Son, Jesus, to teach us about eternal life.”

She placed her hands over the open Bible on the podium. “No matter how hard we try, we can’t be perfect, but because of Jesus, we are forgiven for all the things we do wrong. He suffered and died on the cross, was buried, then raised to life on the third day.” She looked into Mr. Harvey’s eyes. “He loves us that much.”

As she closed the Bible, she softened her voice. “Pray to your heavenly Father—ask him to help you believe in Jesus.”
