Hey, I got an early release on my book, Judges, The Wild West Of The Bible. What's that have to do with Stephen King? Probably nothing, except that there's a lot of gross stuff and horror in Judges, and Stephen King seems to like that kind of stuff. But hey, it's MY BOOK -- so be happy for me and buy lots of copies; I've got four girls to raise here.
Judges is one of the most difficult books of the Bible to deal with. There is war, serious evil and all kinds of weirdness going on. We're talking civil war, gang rape, murder; one guy stabs a fat king and loses his knife inside the king's belly. More than once I've had someone say to me, "I was reading my Bible, and I came to some pretty weird stuff." I always know, they have found the book of Judges.
$12.99 paperback

Howdy! It’s time to saddle up for a ride through some of the most rough and tumble portions of scripture; the book of Judges.
Judges is a critical bridge in the Biblical narrative, taking us from the early pioneers as they ride into the land to the wars with natives. Throughout Judges, God raised up a series of bold sheriffs who would deliver an old west style of justice.
Judges, The Wild West Of The Bible, is an energetic guided tour to one of the most exciting books of the Bible. Come ride with me as we meet some real heroes in history, and some of the cruelest villains ever to walk the face of planet earth.
Judges is both fun, and difficult. This is one book it's good to have someone saddled up beside you to show you the lay of the land. The horses are ready, your gear is packed, I got you a canteen and some jerky. Let's get riding, partner. And bring a six-shooter, there's some badlands ahead.
This guided tour, written an energetic flare, will address some issues Believers wrestle with today, such as:
1. Can I trust and love a God who ordered the Hebrews to kill all the people in the land?
2. Did Jephthah sacrifice his own daughter? Is God good with that? Would God ask the same of us?
3. Can God heal the pain of a broken family?
4. Is there a way back to God after I've messed up big time?
5. If I believe, why do I doubt?
Judges contains the best single chapter of the Bible devoted to raising Godly children.
Alright, Saddle up.

Three thousand years ago a boy stood face to face with a giant and changed the world. It's time to find out what this story is really about.

Yet, despite frustrations, derision and insults, David not only defeated the enemy in front of him, he changed the world.
Stephen King, A Face Among The Masters,
amazon.com/Stephen-King-Face-Among-Masters
With dozens of bestsellers and internationally praised novels, Stephen King has become a household name and well-known author worldwide. His novels such as Carrie and The Dark Tower series have captured audiences, catapulting the author to stardom. His “constant reader” base continues to grow and hang on the author’s every published word. However, King isn’t alone in the elite group of writers—authors from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries such as Edgar Allan Poe, H.P. Lovecraft, and Charles Dickens have also penned novels that captured the world. Upon closer look, King’s stories and characters share striking resemblances to those of the great authors of the past. But, like the works of Poe, Lovecraft, and Dickens, can King’s novels stand the test of time?
Filled with examples from King’s bestsellers, Stephen King: A Face among the Masters examines the author’s inspirations and what makes his books so captivating. Why is Carrie still so relevant, decades after its publication? What makes 11/22/63’s Jake Epping so memorable? How does King master creating such complex worlds in The Stand and The Dark Tower? These are the worlds only a master writer can create.
