A review of my new releases and upcoming books to look out for. Information on where to buy will be available soon!
NEW RELEASE - The Dark Man
The Dark Man was the first novel acquired for the second release list of Marcher Lord Press. The story was so bizarre, so beautiful, an
d so well written that we said, "We have to publish this."
Charles Graves is a master of disguise working with the secret police to bring down the last remnants of 21st century Christianity.
Possessed of remarkable powers of disguise--and haunted by a mysterious talking wooden puzzle--Charles is the government's most potent weapon against these undesireables.
Charles effortlessly becomes other people, slipping into character like others step through a doorway. But what remains of Charles's own character is being pulled under by his accursed past. When he is not working a job, he is lost to alcohol and despair.
And then comes one more assignment. Take down the ringleader of the Christian cult holding forth from some secret quarter of militarized Houston.
He doesn't know it, but God has plans for Charles. Along the way he'll discover the truth about his past, the extent of his depravity, and the strength to look inside.
Perhaps through love and firepower and a change of leadership, Charles can cease to be a man of darkness.
The Dark Man, Marc Schooley, Marcher Lord Press, April 2009, 396 pages, $13.99

Hebrews 5:11 ? 6:14 I’ve been asked my opinion on a passage in the book of Hebrews: Chapter 5:11 through Chapter 6:14. Here’s a verse by verse sketch of some quick thoughts on this excellent passage. “11We have much to say about this, but it is hard to explain because you are slow to learn.” As always, the antecedent of the [...] Westman Bible Conference I’m a proud attendee of the first Westman Bible Conference, held in November of 2009. Westman, as I came to learn, does not indicate devotees of Adam West, rather it’s an abbreviation of West Manitoba, in Canada. It’s easily accessible from Winnipeg, and if you’re of a mind to conjoin a Winter getaway in one [...] Less real than we think, more real than we want? Those who define everything that exists as the natural haven’t told us anything of significance. I could just as easily define everything as hablabadaba. It would mean the same thing and deliver the same informational content. Customarily, the word natural is invoked to describe a realm of energy, space, time, and matter, and any other conceivable or [...] |
