In the words of American humorist and Oklahoma-born heartlander Will Rogers, common sense ain't common. But while the modern world around us may seem to be desperately lacking practicality, wisdom and values, horse sense still reigns supreme in the heartland of the United States.

In Horse Sense from the Heartland, author Daniel C Bruch shares his own common sense take on the world in written vignettes which focus on contemporary social concerns and key values. A retired professor and clergyman, Dr Bruch offers timeless examples of common-sense values and virtues from his youth which are as true today as they have ever been.

The book exudes a quiet confidence and wisdom, acting as a steadfast guide to the reader. Unlike many public figures who relish in loudly expressing controversial opinions, Dr Bruch concentrates on the issues which really matter, introducing heartland values to a wider audience.
