As caretaker to Boot Hill, Gospel Cummings carried a Bible on his left and a black-butted six-gun in a low-slung holster on his right. Gospel had a personal interest in those who died with their boots on, and of late, there had been so many that he could barely keep up with praying for their souls. Some of the trouble was caused by Cord Demingway, ramrod of an outlaw gang, and some of it was the fault of Pug Jones, who had his own band of followers. But more and more, the cause was a secret map pointing the way to an old Spanish treasure. It was making ruthless gunslingers out of usually honest cowboys who could then become the targets of other bonanza hunters - or they could draw first. One thing for sure was that getting to the treasure was treacherous business.

A NATIONAL BESTSELLER A beloved pastor and a New York Times bestselling author examine scripture and share inspiring personal stories to help show the important role that Jesus'' resurrection plays in our everyday lives. The Son of God was crucified, died and buried, and He lay in the tomb for three days--until He walked out shining like the sun. In a culture in which history is erased or rewritten at will, the existence of an empty tomb matters. Why? Because if the tomb is empty--then anything is possible. In his first book, Joby Martin, Lead Pastor of The Church of Eleven22, dives deep into scripture and traces the story of salvation by highlighting the seven mountains throughout scripture where God manifests himself. As he describes each encounter with God, Martin shows us how the interaction on each mountain laid the groundwork for the sacrifice of Christ on Calvary, and shows what God revealed about Himself in the process. He illuminates seven familiar passages, unveiling how God''s plan for Christ''s sacrifice is threaded throughout scripture, and shows why Christ''s resurrection--impossible, unbelievable--means that nothing is too hard for our God. Ultimately, he asks readers, Do you live every day of your life as if the tomb is empty--or as though Jesus is still hanging on that cross? Written with New York Times bestselling author Charles Martin, If the Tomb is Empty is an insightful and spiritually rich examination of what the miracle of Christ''s resurrection means for all of us.
