Outlaw Marshal
Return of the Stranger, Book 1

by Al and Joanna Lacy

     

Known as "the Stranger," John Brockman is now the chief U.S. marshal for the western district. He now lives in Denver, but he still preaches occasionally while he fights crime and brings in outlaws, leading them to Christ when he can. The ones that hurt are the ones he has to kill before he can bring them to Christ.

Fortunately, Whip Langford was not one he had to kill. He witnessed to him but Langford was not ready to hear it. In fact, Langford was very pointed about telling him he wasn’t interested. Nonetheless, Langford heard every word Brockman said. It began to bother him to the point that he couldn’t get it out of his mind.

While Langford was in prison, Brockman visited him as often as he could. He took others to that prison, and each time he went to see Langford. Each time he would witness to the man, feeling an urgent desperation to convert Langford to Christianity. He kept telling him, he needed to do it now, not just think about it. He told him that one day it would be too late to make the decision.

Outlaw Marshal is a fast paced story of outlaws, greed, and the rewards of being kind to strangers. It is also the story of a man who didn’t know God and wasn’t interested in leading a straight life. When Langford was released from prison early, he went back to Denver and got a job there. He fell in love with Annabeth Cooper, and began to bring in outlaws on his own. But when he was framed for murder, he couldn’t remember the path of salvation that Brockman had given him. Could Brockman get there in time to save him, not only save his life, but save him from hell? Read this book, western fans, and enjoy!
