    Paperback. Zustand: Good. A fluent, mordant, authentic, propulsive narrative wonderfully lit from within by an intriguing main character.The Texas of the novel.has been written about before, and very well. Kennedy rises to the challenge and succeeds so well that Larry McMurtry and James Lee Burke have offered their praise. --Lee Child, The New York Times Book Review Set in the 1970s in the vast and arid landscape of the Texas panhandle, this darkly comic and stunningly mature literary debut tells the story of a car thief and his brother who set out to recover some stolen money and inadvertently kidnap a Mennonite girl who has her own reasons for being on the run. Troy Falconer returns home after years of working as a solitary car thief to help his younger brother, Harlan, search for his wife, who has run away with the little money he had. When they steal a station wagon for the journey, the brothers accidentally kidnap Martha Zacharias, a Mennonite girl asleep in the back of the car. Martha turns out to be a stubborn survivor who refuses to be sent home, so together these unlikely road companions attempt to escape across the Mexican border, pursued by the police and Martha's vengeful father. The story is told partly through Troy's journal, in which he chronicles his encounters with con artists, down-and-outers, and roadside philosophers, people looking for fast money, human connection, or a home long since vanished. The journal details a breakdown that has left Troy unable to function in conventional society; he is reduced to haunting motels, stealing from men roughly his size, living with their possessions in order to have none of his own and all but disappearing into their identities. With a page-turning plot about a kidnapped child, gorgeously written scenes that probe the soul of the American West, and an austere landscape as real as any character, Presidio packs a powerful punch of anomie, dark humor, pathos, and suspense.…

    Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Postmodernism carries with it the idea that there are no absolutes. This has been reflected not only in the secular culture of our day, but increasingly in Christian churches as well. The inescapable fact is however, that with God there are absolutes. He never changes and neither does His truth. In Kingdom Invaders: Postmodern Threats to Biblical Christianity Randy addresses some of the key truths that are under attack in the contemporary Church. Through these pages skeptics will find compelling reasons to believe in the inerrancy and infallibility of the Bible, and Christians will become better equipped to fight the battles against false teachings that are invading the Kingdom of God today. INCLUDES A STUDY GUIDE FOR GROUP DISCUSION Randy Kennedy is the news director at a three-station Christian radio network in central Minnesota. He has been a student and teacher of the Bible for much of his adult life. A combined three-plus decades working as part of the law enforcement community and in radio news has given Randy a unique insight into the issues of the day and how they are affecting modern culture and Christianity.…

Troy Falconer returns home after years of working as a solitary car thief to help his younger brother, Harlan, search for his wife, who has run away with the little money he had. When they steal a station wagon for the journey, the brothers accidentally kidnap Martha Zacharias, a Mennonite girl asleep in the back of the car. Martha turns out to be a stubborn survivor who refuses to be sent home, so together these unlikely road companions attempt to escape across the Mexican border, pursued by the police and Martha's vengeful father. The story is told partly through Troy's journal, in which he chronicles his encounters with con artists, down-and-outers, and roadside philosophers, people looking for fast money, human connection, or a home long since vanished. The journal details a breakdown that has left Troy unable to function in conventional society; he is reduced to haunting motels, stealing from men roughly his size, living with their possessions in order to have none of his own and all but disappearing into their identities. With a page-turning plot about a kidnapped child, gorgeously written scenes that probe the soul of the American West, and an austere landscape as real as any character, Presidio packs a powerful punch of anomie, dark humor, pathos, and suspense.…

    Hardback. Zustand: Good. A fluent, mordant, authentic, propulsive narrative wonderfully lit from within by an intriguing main character.The Texas of the novel.has been written about before, and very well. Kennedy rises to the challenge and succeeds so well that Larry McMurtry and James Lee Burke have offered their praise. --Lee Child, The New York Times Book Review Set in the 1970s in the vast and arid landscape of the Texas panhandle, this darkly comic and stunningly mature literary debut tells the story of a car thief and his brother who set out to recover some stolen money and inadvertently kidnap a Mennonite girl who has her own reasons for being on the run.
