What a Ride!

Terry's book, What a Ride! is a must read for any cowboy, young or old. It's laced with danger, wit, and Terry's brand of humor. What a Ride! is a lot of fun. Even though Terry never made the National Finals Rodeo, he was a very successful bull rider. National Finals Rodeo qualifications don't justify or quantify a bull riding career nor should it! I trust Terry totally for his expertise in bull riding instruction. He's a great role model and prayer warrior. The Holland's are a wonderful family who love the Lord Jesus and live life to its fullest. While reading the book, I found myself with sweaty palms and that feeling only bull riders know. I was continually amazed at how accurately Terry describes all the emotions that occur while anticipating and executing a ride-fear, joy, excitement. Wow! Do yourself a favor and give it a read-you won't be disappointed.

I admire him for his love and faithfulness to Debbie Jo. His life is an example to his daughter Khakie, of what godly manhood looks like. Besides being a great bull rider, he has always had an extraordinary gift for telling a story. Terry has told stories that have made my sides hurt from laughter as well as stories about his relationship with God and compassion for people that have brought tears to my eyes. Reading through the pages of What A Ride! stirred up in me the very reason I felt so passionate about riding bulls and reminded me of what has kept me so close to the sport. Many people's lives have been affected because of having Terry a part in them. Terry is a shining example of what Jesus meant when he said in John 15:8, "This is to my Father's glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples." Enjoy reading What A Ride! and you'll understand why thousands of men have followed the dream of riding bulls. Cody Custer-PRCA World Champion Bull Rider, 1992
