Prepare to embark on an exhilarating journey through the rugged landscapes of the Wild West in my eagerly awaited second book, "Sovereign Rein." Within its pages, you'll discover 17 captivating true stories that offer a glimpse into my cowboy lifestyle, a life deeply intertwined with faith and the timeless teachings of the Bible. In this literary adventure, I aim to illuminate the profound connection between our daily existence and the scriptures we hold dear.

"Sovereign Rein" is not just a title; it's a testament to the unwavering sovereignty of our Creator. The clever wordplay of 'rein' as a horse's bridle symbolizes how He guides and reigns over our lives. For those who journeyed with me through my first book, "You Can't Crack That Egg Twice," you caught a glimpse of the picturesque ranch life, its magnificent horses, and the cherished animals that make it home.

Now, in my second book, you'll delve even deeper into the heartwarming tales of this remarkable place. Whether I'm in the saddle or under the spotlight, one constant remains my unwavering belief in a Sovereign God who watches over us all. Moreover, I want to share the stories of my incredible family, the ones who stand by my side through thick and thin.

Tracy and Hailey, always there to help saddle a horse or navigate a challenging hospital corridor, exemplify the unwavering support that binds us. In these captivating stories, you'll see the essence of my cowboy life, centered on faith, family, patriotism, and the beloved Western industry. I'm immensely grateful to Leadership Books for placing their trust in a cowboy who had to conquer reading and writing twice over to pen this book and share these cherished stories.

As you immerse yourself in the pages of "Sovereign Rein," I hope you'll find inspiration, joy, and a renewed sense of the Bible's profound influence on our everyday lives. Thank you for believing in me and for choosing to make "Sovereign Rein" a part of your literary journey. Saddle up, dear readers, and let the adventure begin!

Scott Knudsen is not your ordinary 5th generation Texas cowboy with a business degree. He has been struck by lightning (in the head, out his hand), played a mixed doubles tennis tournament at the LA Forum with Billy Jean King and Martina Navratilova for Yonex, and became an award- winning national sales rep for a Fortune 50 company.

Headquartered in Fredericksburg, Texas, at the family’s Lightning K Ranch, he owns Knudsen Equine Center, Knudsen Horses, and Knudsen Cattle Company. An American Quarter Horse Association (AQHA) Professional Horseman and AQHA Ambassador, he’s ridden rough stock (broncs and bulls) to racehorses, team roped, penned, and sorted. Knudsen’s ridden cutting horses worked rescues, and trained Thoroughbreds to Morgans and Mustangs.

As President of the Board for Fredericksburg Theater Company (the San Antonio area’s top-rated), Knudsen turned the non-profit’s balance sheet into a $1 million-plus operation.

Knudsen hosts the weekly Cowboy Entrepreneur show which broadcasts worldwide on a dozen platforms— from iHeart to Spotify to Apple—and on Southern California’s KCAA radio, an NBC affiliate, on the frontline of the nation’s most populous state. Watch Cowboy Entrepreneur weekly on video on YouTube.

Spotlighting the upbeat side of life at the crossroads of horses and business Cowboy Entrepreneur takes fans behind the scenes with horse world personalities to events, from family businesses to ranchers and rodeo stars.

A Dyadic Review: Baffling, Brilliant
Difficult. Rewarding. Serious. Hilarious. Wise. Faux-wise. Scholarly. Mock-scholarly. Observant. Absurdly, obsessively observant. Sharp characterizations. Ridiculous characters. Devout. Bawdy. Endearing. Frustrating. Genius. Barking mad. Narratively incoherent. Stream-of-consciousness associative. Consistently provincial. Profoundly universal. Mired in the 18th century. Harbinger of 20th century literary Modernism. Baffling. Brilliant Not for every taste. For my taste. And while I'm at it, let me give a shout-out for the out-of-print Norton critical edition, which provides many helps, essay avenues of understanding, and a clever chapter summary/table of contents. For so many years - since reading Moby Dick in grad school with the help of a Norton critical - this publication line has been my go-to for great texts: useful annotations, contemporary reviews, later scholarly articles, and more. And also let me give a shout-out to Anton Lesser, who narrated the complete novel for Naxos. I have never, ever experienced an audiobook as masterfully produced and narrated as Naxos' Tristram Shandy. No, it is simply not a book one can listen to and fully comprehend as heard. But one might read while listening, or listen while reading, with - if you have the riight software - the narration sped up closer to one's own reading speed, and experience the full majesty of Lesser's absolute preparation, with Latin, Greek, French, and German - as well as regional English - beautifully and humorously intoned, character voices carefully differentiated, tone and mood captured, etc. Or, as I do, go for a walk and listen as you walk, and afterward slip into a comfy chair, crack the novel open, and continue from where you left off, or backtrack if necessary to sort out the characters. In any event, and particularly for devotees of audio books, do find Anton Lesser's note-perfect reading, a veritable radio serial, perhaps the last book you'd expect anyone to attempt single-handedly, with My Father, My Uncle Toby, Corporal Trim, Parson Yorick, Doctor Slop, Widow Wadman, and all the rest of the supporting characters beautifully, consistently interpreted. Lesser is, in a galaxy of fine narrators, the greatest I've heard: an absolutely peerless voice actor in a most demanding work.

Brilliant stream of consciousness style, *extremely* humorous
"The Life and Opinions..." is perhaps impossible to really classify. It purports to be a biography of the fictional Tristram Shandy, but I don't think you can call something a biography when it only covers a year or so of the subject's life! I would say that more than half of the novel actually falls into the "Opinions" referred to in the title. The rest consists of short stories on Tristram's father, uncle, and a couple other minor characters. I have never in my life read so many digressions from the topic at hand, most of which were utterly irrelevant but the charm of it is that Sterne *knows* they're irrelevant, but mockingly expresses his license of authorship in forcing the reader to go off on these sidetracks. His attitude is: "If you can't wait a chapter or two to get back to the story, well, go take a flying leap, I'm the author." Sometimes the digressions are exasperating. Very unlike Victor Hugo's signature habit of digressing, say when a certain main character in Notre Dame decides to enter the Paris sewers, Hugo takes thirty or more pages to give a history of the design and construction of the Paris sewer system. At least Hugo's digressions have *something* to do with the story. Well, maybe that's the problem. There isn't a main story in this novel. It's not a storybook. There are many short stories nested within the main framework, but there is no real protagonist or overarching theme of any sort. Indeed, the end comes abruptly and there is absolutely no resolution of any conflict. It's not trying to teach anything, really. So what is it? I'm not sure. More a comedy than anything else. Right up there with Dickens' "Pickwick Papers" in terms of humor, but lacking the story. Maybe funnier than Dickens and just as clever. I was rolling in the aisles so many times I lost count. I read the Penguin edition, edited by Melvyn & Joan New. The back cover does a better job than I could ever do in providing a sense of what you're getting into when you pick this one up: "No one description will fit this strange, eccentric, endlessly complex masterpiece. It is a fiction about fiction-writing in which the invented world is as much infused with wit and genius as the theme of inventing it. It is a joyful celebration of the infinite possibilities of the art of fiction, and a wry demonstration of its limitations." It's a large work, it will take a while to work through. It's worth it. There are passages I want to go back to and make copies of to tape to the walls, they're that brilliant.

Interesting read, but takes some getting used to
I heard about this book on a blog, and figured I'd check it out. It's the rambling tale of a man determined to give you every last detail of everything that might be important to the narrative of his life. Unfortunately, he goes on tangets so often that he doesn't even get to his birth for several chapters, let alone the story of the rest of his life. Along the way, you're introduced to lots of random characters who are (at best) loosely related to the protagonist, but as often as not these tangents are fairly amusing. The writing is pretty dense, and this along with the tangents had me putting the book down fairly often. It's probably ideal for a commuting book, but I never wanted to just sit down and blitz through big chunks of it. Overall it's a very different kind of experience than a novel reader typically gets. It's worth a read for a change of pace, but I can't say it's a life-altering read.
