Book excerpt: It’s All Just a Show...Right? “This is an authentic old west ghost town, son. Around these parts the dead don’t stay dead.” Nick Caden’s vacation at Deadwood Canyon Ghost Town takes a deadly turn toward trouble when the fifteen-year-old finds himself trapped in a livery stable with the infamous outlaw Jesse James. The shooter whirls, aims and... vanishes. Great theatrics, Nick thinks, except now he’s alone in the hayloft with the bullet-riddled body of Billy the Kid. And by the time the sheriff arrives, the body disappears. Soon Nick is caught in a deadly chase—from an abandoned gold mine, through forbidden buffalo hunting grounds, and across Rattlesnake Gulch. Around every turn he finds another suspect. Will Nick solve the murder? Will his parents have him committed? Or will the town's infatuation with Hollywood theatrics conceal the real truth about souls, spirits and the destiny that awaits those who die.

Download or read book Dead Man’s Hand written by Ronald Thomas and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2018-10-04 with total page 43 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life by itself is harsh and unrelenting, and it can weigh heavily on the soul and spirit of a person. Then you add the misinterpretations of Christ from the altars that follow the dictates of the Roman Empire, and life becomes even more complex. Yet religion plays an important role in the lives of people, and so it is important for us to use our faith to understand and embrace life. Dead Man’s Hand is an inspired commentary that can help get you back to the inheritance that Christ gave us—salvation and the lands of America—and it can guide you away from the altars that peddle falsehoods about Christ. Author Ronald Thomas explains how important it is to protect the family unit from the spiritual and physical dangers of the world, and he shows you how you will never know who Christ truly is unless you walk away from the altars of the men in colorful clothing, who want nothing more than your money. Christ is powerful, and his power hinges on one command: “Love me.” It is that simple, and there is only one Creator, one Lord, and one King. The message from the Father to each of us is to love him unconditionally just as he loves us.
