Redeeming Reputation (Redemption Tales Book 1)

“Ya’ll best be fearin the Preacher. He’ll either change you with religion or send you to Hell hisself. One way or another, when you meet the Preacher you’re gonna be meeting the

Good Lord too, either in your heart or in person. Either way the choice is yours.”

- Joe Cattleman, Franklin Bartender



Nathan Ryder wants nothing more than to get to Redemption,

New Mexico, and start his career as a circuit riding preacher.

He stops to meet up with his grandfather in Franklin, Missouri

only to find that his grandfather has died.



He steps in to save a damsel in distress and at the end of the night

Nathan has gained the reputation as a fast gun hand.

Every time he tries to be who he thinks he’s supposed

to be another gunslinger comes and the body count rises.

Nathan’s anxiety rises with it. How does a man who is called

to save sinners from the pits of hell reconcile that he is

responsible for sending some there personally?



As he continues to try to leave Franklin he wonders

about his own reputation. He’s been saddled with a young

single woman and he worries about her reputation.

How does he fulfill his obligations and still redeem his own reputation?



How will he reconcile his talents with a gun and the reputation

he’s gained with the one he wants to have, as a man of God

and peacemaker? Especially with the area’s most notorious

gunslinger dead set on a showdown.

If he only knew how to have a Redeeming Reputation

instead of the one he stumbled into.
