About this ebook

  "We just want to talk to you, Johnny," the man yelled into the darkness. "Then we'll let all of you go. But this is your last chance. If you don't come out right now, I'm gonna hurt your little scout buddies."

After Johnny's scout troop witnessed a murder, he escaped into the sage brush. Everyone said he did the right thing by remaining hidden, but he never believed that. He could still hear his friend's voices pleading with him to come out of hiding and save them.

     Johnny, who now goes by Jack, is middle-aged and comfortable. None of his church friends know he's the lone survivor of the Guadalupe Massacre. Even though he was permanently scarred by that horrible event, terror is the last thing he expects in adulthood. But someone's changing that, and the stakes are much higher than in his childhood. Is meaningless, violent death Jack's destiny, or is this his opportunity to redeem his past? Whichever, he's about to draw very close to God.

Author

Bruce Edward Butler

ABOUT ME: I've been married to the same beautiful woman for the past fifty years. Karin and I live in Oregon where we have eight children and ten grandchildren. When diagnosed with cancer in 2008, I stopped watching TV and began writing. Previous writing experience was as a song writer when I played in a couple of bluegrass bands. I've worked actively in jail and prison ministry for the past twenty-five years. I design houses when I'm not writing or in jail. :-)
