Bounty hunter Lou Prophet escorts a killer to be hanged—and himself into trouble in this western from Peter Brandvold. Lou Prophet is in mixed company these days. He doesn’t mind being close to his pretty pistol-packing partner, Louisa Bonaventure. Known as the Vengeance Queen, she has his back—and dare he say it, part of his heart. But accompanying the vile outlaw Blanco Metalious back to Nugget Town to see him hang isn’t exactly Lou’s idea of a good time… Then a young girl claiming amnesia after getting caught in the crossfire during Blanco’s capture joins their posse. But her ease on the trails belies her innocence. Before Prophet can deal with her, Sam “Man Killin’” Metalious enters the picture, aiming to free his son before he hangs. But no way is that going to happen under Prophet’s watch…

2018 Book Award Winner, The Gospel Coalition (Academic Theology) A Choice Outstanding Academic Title for 2019 Will all evil finally turn to good, or does some evil remain stubbornly opposed to God and God's goodness? Will even the devil be redeemed? Addressing a theological issue of perennial interest, this comprehensive book (in two volumes) surveys the history of Christian universalism from the second to the twenty-first century and offers an interpretation of how and why universalist belief arose. The author explores what the church has taught about universal salvation and hell and critiques universalism from a biblical, philosophical, and theological standpoint. He shows that the effort to extend grace to everyone undermines the principle of grace for anyone.

Like many young men growing up in the violent political hotbed of Northern Ireland during the 1980s, Mick McNabb developed an intense, revenge-driven, hatred for the British and the Protestant Loyalists. But by the time he was eighteen, Mick stood out as a type of messianic figure for the Catholics of Northern Ireland, and a devil to the British authorities. A combination of fiery rhetoric and brazen acts of violence force Mick to flee his beloved homeland, an odyssey which takes the young Irishman to various locations around the world, including a stint in the United States where he assumes a new name and identity. Lulled into complacency by his middle-American surroundings to the plight of those who considered him a savior, Mick eventually becomes estranged from the freedom struggle in Northern Ireland. Mick’s previous life would eventually catch up with him, however, thrusting Mick McNabb back into The Troubles of Northern Ireland. Initially in the good graces of the Irish Republican Army, Mick’s reckless exploits, as well as growing cult of personality and megalomania, eventually cause the IRA to consider him a liability and a detriment, and the freedom fighter from Belfast soon finds himself a target of both sides in the century-old conflict.

Years before Hillbilly Elegy and White Trash, a raucous, truth-telling look at the white working poor -- and why they have learned to hate liberalism. What it adds up to, he asserts, is an unacknowledged class war. By turns tender, incendiary, and seriously funny, this book is a call to arms for fellow progressives with little real understanding of "the great beery, NASCAR-loving, church-going, gun-owning America that has never set foot in a Starbucks." Deer Hunting with Jesus is Joe Bageant’s report on what he learned when he moved back to his hometown of Winchester, Virginia. Like countless American small towns, it is fast becoming the bedrock of a permanent underclass. Two in five of the people in his old neighborhood do not have high school diplomas or health care. Alcohol, overeating, and Jesus are the preferred avenues of escape. He writes of: • His childhood friends who work at factory jobs that are constantly on the verge of being outsourced • The mortgage and credit card rackets that saddle the working poor with debt • The ubiquitous gun culture—and why the left doesn’ t get it • Scots Irish culture and how it played out in the young life of Lynddie England
