A Book Review - Outlaw Marshal


John “The Stranger” Brockman is back by popular demand!

"A good deed grants outlaw Whipley Langford early release from prison and a friendship with Chief U.S. Marshal John Brockman. Another good deed gets Whip framed for murder and looking at life through a hangman’s noose. John arrives just in time to reveal the true murderers and lead Whip to Christ.

A new man and a fast draw, Whip becomes Brockman’s deputy. Life is still fast and dangerous, and there’s a pretty lady Whip would like to get to know better too. Before he admits his love, Whip is shot in a bank robbery. Survival looks slim until he awakens to hear his lady confess her love. Weeks later, they are married.

Readers who are familiar with the Journeys of the Stranger and Angel of Mercy series reunite with well-loved characters John and Breanna Brockman. Western history buffs will enjoy a wholesome, fast-paced story where the Gospel is presented clearly. Christian readers will learn how to lean on the Lord in times of trial and non-Christians will have the opportunity to make Christ their Savior. "
I enjoyed the fast read of this book. It is a "perfect" book. The main family in the book are a little perfect for reality, plus everyone gets helped in the nick of time - just perfectly. I found I wanted to read the other previous novels to find out about his life as "The Stranger." Despite being so perfect, I still enjoyed reading the story and being encouraged about seeing how God works things for good in our lives.
