We Were Born for Higher Ground
"The thing is, we were made for a different terrain than the soft, tame land where we are comfortable. We were born for bigger, more rugged, less safe pastures. We were born for higher ground."
Rope Myers was born to be a rodeo cowboy. Not only were his parents actively competing in the sport, so he was most of his extended family. But while the rest of the world watched the development of a rodeo superstar, God was doing a much greater work.
Saved at age 12 during a rodeo church service, Rope spent the early years of his new identity in Christ hungering for knowledge and trying to develop that relationship with Jesus. But a lack of resources and very little guidance paved the way for the resurgence of his first "god" -rodeo. His competitive fire and determination to be the best in his field resulted in great worldly success. But the seed had been planted, the hunger for the Lord still burned below the surface, and despite appearing to "have it all," Rope knew something was missing.
Good Pasture chronicles Rope's very personal journey of learning who the Father is and what He has called us to. Read along as he wrestles through how the ordinary, everyday struggles in life provide countless opportunities for us to know and trust the One who created us-and how little by little, the Father is calling us all to something more than we could ever imagine.
"Every person's story is significant in the grand scheme of things. But the most important ones are those having the unique potential to affect or even revolutionize other lives. In a simple yet profound way, Rope Myers has hit the proverbial home run in that regard. To read, digest, and apply the principles in this book will guarantee that you, too, will find "Good Pasture." -Andy Taylor - Author, Founder, and Apostolic Leader of Trinity Fellowship, Sayre, Oklahoma
