He wanted to be left in peace… West Morgan knows all about second chances. After bouncing from foster home to foster home, he finally landed at the Rawlings Ranch as a teenager. There he found a home, something he’d never thought possible. Now an adult, he realizes he’s been given much more: a family and, most importantly, peace. But when his mentor dies and leaves the property divided among his foster brothers and his mentor’s daughter, Tara Rawlings, the fragile future he’s built for himself is threatened. She wanted to be free of her past… Tara Rawlings swore she’d never end up with someone like her father, a man completely focused on the ranch to the exclusion of his loved ones. She created a new life for herself in San Francisco, running an interior design company and getting married, then divorced. When she returns to settle her father’s estate, she finds that her birthright is in jeopardy. And the only way to save it is to work with West Morgan, the one man she has always resented—and always found irresistible. Can they save the ranch without killing each other … or falling in love?

What are the connections between cattle branding and Christian salvation, between livestock castration and square dancing, between rustling and the making of spurs and horsehair bridles in prison, between children's coloring books and cowboy poetry as it is practiced today? The Cowboy usesliterary, historical, folkloric, and pop cultural sources to document ways in which cowboys address religion, gender, economics, and literature. Arguing that cowboys are defined by the work they do, Allmendinger sets out in each chapter to investigate one form of labor (such as branding, castration,or rustling) that cowboys perform in their "work culture." He then looks at early oral poems that cowboys recited around campfires, on trail drives, at roundups, and at home in their bunkhouses, and at later poems, histories and autobiographies written by cowboys--most of which have never beforebeen studied by scholars. He discovers that these texts not only deal with work but with larger concerns, including art, morality, spirituality, and male sexuality. In addition to spotlighting little-known texts, art, and archival sources, The Cowboy examines the works of Twain, Steinbeck, Cather,Norris, Dana, McMurtry, and others, and features more than 60 historic photographs, many of which have not been published until now.

Johnson is accused of assaulting a white woman, a deadly charge for a black man in 1876. Knowing he’ll be lynched if he stays in St. Andrews, Indiana, Johnson flees to the grassy plains of Kansas looking for the freedom unavailable to him back East. What Johnson doesn’t know is that the woman’s father is a powerful businessman determined to track him down. For a man on the run, the West seems like the perfect place for someone withdrawn like Johnson to become a new person, until a top Pinkerton agent named Cole Charles comes into town hunting outlaws. When Cole Charles discovers Johnson is a wanted man, Johnson has no choice but to flee again. This time he escapes to Fort Worth, Texas, where he meets a rowdy woman named Eddie who is quick with a joke and even quicker with her pistol. Despite his lack of experience, Eddie hires Johnson to be a wrangler on a cattle drive made up of other black cowboys headed to Wyoming. With Cole Charles on his trail, the cattle drive will take Johnson further than he ever imagined and force him to confront his greatest fear when he comes face to face with Cole Charles himself.

This book looks at a group of Biblical truths from the perspective of an average citizen who uses Scripture, jokes, short stories, and life experiences to examine them. This book is for everyone, Christian or non-Christian, teen and older, who would like to have a serious but sometimes whimsical look at some of the most fundamental truths to be found in the Bible. It isn't a deep, scholarly endeavor but is designed to be basic and straightforward for the average reader. Jeff Tribby is a retired Naval Petty Officer who walked down a church aisle at age seven to join the church but became a true believer in Jesus Christ in the Philippine Islands during the Viet Nam era. During his naval career and afterward, his passion for writing steered him toward science fiction, which he blended with Christian beliefs and values. Following a short career as a library assistant at a local university, Jeff retired for medical reasons. This gave him some new insights and perspectives on his life in Jesus and decided to share a few of them with others in this book. Jeff also has a lifelong passion for music, plays twelve-string guitar, bass and banjo and also writes songs when inspired. His main goals are to share the gospel with others and give credit for all his blessings and talents to God. It is also his intention for you to enjoy this collection of elemental truth, be inspired and be blessed in the Lord always in all ways.
