For Us Humans
Hey. My name's Caz Fortel. I'm thirty, good-looking, and a great liar. In fact, that's my job: to lie to people who steal works of art, and get the goods back. Then one day I get the big call from the FBI: a million bucks, to recover a stolen statue with huge cultural value. Downside: the partner they assign me has an unhealthy interest in Jesus, an interest I've tried really hard to erase from my life. Also, that partner is an alien with four arms and a tremendous sense of smell. Welcome to 2016. See, the Panstellar Consociation is the boss now, of all the Earth and everything that goes on in the solar system. Aliens showed up fifteen years ago and made us a deal: join us as a protectorate and we'll swap you tech secrets, pay you real well. All so they could set up a warp tunnel in orbit. It's their statue. They want the whole job kept quiet. Or Earth could be in very, very big trouble.

Technology, Management and the Evangelical Church
This book explores the technological innovations and management practices of evangelical Christian religions. Beginning from the late 19th century, the author examines the evangelical church's increasing appropriation of business practices from the secular world as solutions to organizational problems. He notes especially the importance of the church growth movement and the formation of church networks. Particular attention is paid to the history of evangelical uses of computer technology, including connections the Christian Right has made within Silicon Valley. Most significantly, this book offers one of the first academic explorations of the use of cybernetics, systems theory and complexity theory by evangelical leaders and management theorists.
Sandstorm
Dirigibles and Danger It's been four months since the city-state of Perch turned away the invading army of its southern rival, Trestleway, and sent the dark forces of the Cythraul packing. Thanks in no small part, everyone reckons, to Winchell Sark and his brother, Copernicus. Word reaches Winch that an old friend is in dire need. Seems he's come across a long-lost artifact deep in the Golden Desert that folk say can tear apart the veil separating this world from the one beyond the shadows. But it's not only Winch and company seeking this relic. There's a new threat gathering, one that will stop at nothing to conquer the desert sands-and unleash the Cythraul on an unsuspecting world. Steve Rzasa is a librarian in Wyoming who fills his head with Scripture, history, graphic novels, and TV shows like Castle and Big Bang Theory, ideally in that order. Steve has had four other science fiction books published by Marcher Lord Press: "The Word Reclaimed" (2009), its sequel, "The Word Unleashed" (2010), "Broken Sight" (2011), which won the 2012 Carol Award for Speculative Fiction from the American Christian Fiction Writers, and "Crosswind, " the prequel to "Sandstorm."
Redeemed
Things happen for a reason, right? Like when an old, blind lady reaches out her trembling hand to Katty at the convenience store and tells her, “Find yourself a faithful man—faithful and true.” The woman’s touch zings Katty’s skin. “You’ll know when you’ve found him. He sees you like a queen ....” Katty was just there to buy booze. Angels gather, drawing her. Babies cry out to her. All she knows is abuse and addiction. She has to find herself before she can be loved by a faithful man. And the only place she can do that is ... Gamma’s closet.

It's up to Winch and his brother Copernicus, a hotshot pilot, to save their people. And Thel knows, it ain't going to be easy.
Captives
One choice could destroy them all. When eighteen-year-old Levi returned from Denver City with his latest scavenged finds, he never imagined he’d find his village of Glenrock decimated, loved ones killed, and many—including his fiancée, Jem—taken captive. Now alone, Levi is determined to rescue what remains of his people, even if it means entering the Safe Lands, a walled city that seems anything but safe. Omar knows he betrayed his brother by sending him away, but helping the enforcers was necessary. Living off the land and clinging to an outdated religion holds his village back. The Safe Lands has protected people since the plague decimated the world generations ago ... and its rulers have promised power and wealth beyond Omar’s dreams. Meanwhile, their brother Mason has been granted a position inside the Safe Lands, and may be able to use his captivity to save not only the people of his village, but also possibly find a cure for the virus that threatens everyone within the Safe Lands’ walls. Will Mason uncover the truth hidden behind the Safe Lands’ façade before it’s too late?
