In the second book, THE GAMBLE -Shekinah is discovered and rescued by a thirteen-year-old girl named Brittany. She just happens to be the daughter of Angelo Gaudino, personal friend of Lord Wizard Star and the head of the CEF plot to find the colt and destroy him. Brittany secretly brings the colt back to her father's ranch where he is given the best of care, training and love. God protects the colt by only allowing true Christians to recognize that he is pure white. The girl takes personal responsibility for raising him and forms an unbreakable bond of love and trust with him. Tom Ravasio is an ordained minister, author, certified pastoral counselor, and founder of the Shekinah Western Ranch Camp. Tom grew up with a God given passion for horses, which eventually led him to telling bedtime stories about the marvelous and heroic white horse of Revelation 19:11 to his children. These stories took on a metamorphosis of their own and later became pages of thrilling excitement for people of all ages. He and his wife Karen have three daughters and three grandchildren. The Ravasio family lives on a 20-acre horse farm in Monongahela, Pennsylvania.
