Description: Vietnam veteran Dan Bailey understands the struggles with PTSD. When his horse, DJ, befriends a navy SEAL, the friendship among the three becomes a partnership. Together, with a team of other military and police veterans, they face times of fun, tragedy, fear, and restoration in their lives. Join the Restoring Acres team as God leads them on an adventure to find hope, healing, forgiveness, self-worth, and most importantly, love. I have never seen a Christian novel like this! I have PTSD, as do a couple friends of mine, from the privilege of serving our country. This book is must-read for all who have loved ones they just don't understand, for those of us who don't understand what we are going through, what and why we are feeling the way we do. The feelings this book brought out of me, and the opportunity for communication it afforded my wife and I ... thank you and may God bless you and thank you - Alan Noah, US Navy Restoring Acres is a much-needed book about the lives of veterans as they try and re-assimilate themselves back into life as a civilian. PTSD and mental health issues in veterans have gone largely unresolved. Part of the problem is the failure of the government to recognize the scale of the problem. A must-read for everyone who is a family member, friend, clergy or counselor for a veteran.
