My reason for wanting to read " The Horse of My Heart" by Callie Smith Grant was to learn why people loved horses as pets so passionately. It's never been my great dream or passion to own one. Perhaps, this is because I've only rode on two horses in my life and for thirty minutes or less each time. The stories collected by Callie Smith Grant really reached the heart of my questions. Can such large animals make good pets? Can they teach us lessons of life like cats or dogs? I didn't think about the shortcomings of horses either.

  Ishtar is a ten year old Persian Prince. With his father and servants he travels into the desert. They are following a star to find a baby who will become King Jesus. Along the way, the caravan will meet with all sorts of adventures: snakes, assassins, devil sand and dry desert life. All of the adventures are not bad. Along the way, Ishtar learns about the camel's life. Closeness to his camel causes him to name it Musa. Musa is a foreign word for companion. He also learns to eat new foods like pickled fish. He meets new friends too. Also at the end of each chapter in the book, there is a devotional. It's wonderful to read about a different culture like the Persian one. Moreover it is delightful to learn about Jesus by using the point or points taken from the stories. This book will really add to the Christmas experience of any reader. The subtitle is "A Family Story for Advent." Ishtar's Odyssey by Arnold Ytreeide is filled not only with familiar material
