Samuel, Son of Jesse – A Christian Historical Western (Book 2 in the Jesse Stalls series)
A young cowboy on a lengthy adventure and three crucial decisions could see his life forever changed.
Samuel is furious over a horse deal his father Jesse makes. He leaves the Stalls’ ranch in Booneville, Arkansas, with three friends on a journey to find work in Kansas.
After arriving at JA McFadden’s Ranch, they are recruited as bronc busters. But the landowner’s primary reason for hiring is their proficiency with weapons—particularly Samuel. A short time passes, and McFadden asks the young cowboy to eliminate a neighboring rancher’s foreman, which sends a clear message that it’s time for Samuel to leave.
Samuel is unfamiliar with folks in the area and camps nearby without understanding he’s on the Riverview land. The property owner’s daughter, Maggie Rivers, catches sight of him the next day, searching for food. Supposing he is an employee of McFadden, she shoots him in the shoulder. But kindness emerges because of the young cowboy’s injury, so she takes him to the ranch, removes the bullet, and patches him up.
While he recuperates, Samuel grows closer to God—and Maggie, who senses Samuel’s deep desire for spiritual things and believes he has a calling to preach.
But when a brewing conflict between ranches seems imminent, Samuel is confronted with a decision: to use his gun in defense of the ranch he works for or pursue a path of becoming a man of God.
