Editorial Reviews
▼▲"The vibrant leadership of Crystal Peaks Youth Ranch Founder Kim Meeder is superseded only by her unwavering commitment to the Lord. Her buoyant spirit is contagious! Kim is "the real deal" and I'm always a better person for being in her presence. In this bold new venture, the same burning passion she has exhibited in ministering to wounded children and horses finds a new target: women. Fierce Beauty challenges us to abandon our shallow lives of insecurity, pain and selfishness and instead embrace a warrior's pose. We can no longer afford to sit idly by ... let's march on!"
LuAnne Crane, Executive Producer & Co-Host, Family Talk with Dr. James Dobson
"Kim Meeder poured her heart onto these pages, encouraging readers to be authentic, to defend their hearts against sin, and to find peace in unexpected places. In Fierce Beauty you will be challenged to embrace Gods unconditional love when faced with roadblocks. Kims words will inspire you to stand up and run your own racestraight into the open arms of Jesus. This book stands alone for self-study, and it would be an outstanding choice for your small group."

Praise for Kim and Troy Meeder
Troy and Kim Meeder are two of the finest people I have had the privilege of knowing. A year ago, my wife Shirley and I visited their nine-acre Crystal Peaks Youth Ranch in Bend, Oregon, where they introduce dozens of wounded and needy children to abused and neglected horses. The healing and mystical bond that occurs between the animals and soul-hungry kids is wonderful to behold. Moreover, Kim and Troy do everything in the name of the Lord. I admire these people greatly and wish somebody would give them a larger ranch on which to do their marvelous work! Ive seen nothing quite like it.
James Dobson, PhD, Family Talk
