Did you know that spinach doesn’t actually make you stronger?

Yep. That’s right. Popeye lied to you. Popeye, the cartoon, was created during World War II as propaganda and has set entire generations astray when it comes to spinach.

Okay, Alli, you may be saying. What’s that got to do with me?

Story Is Powerful

The point is, there’s power in storytelling. There’s power in words. The words we speak over ourselves, sure, but also the words we put out into the world. The words we speak over others and about others.

There’s a reason we think Dalmatians work alongside firemen, that rabbits like carrots, and that spinach makes you stronger. All of these things were in stories and changed how a whole generation thinks about a certain thing.

Isn’t that cool?

Words are powerful, and they’re important. So when we see words that we agree with, or that we think should change a generation, it’s important to play our part in that. If the words never reach anybody, were they really even said?

So, I want to tell you about some important words I’ve come across. (and for legal reasons, this book ISN’T Propaganda).

My friend Noah published his first book, Outlaw Blood, and oh boy does this book pack some intense spiritual truths between the pages. It’s a thrilling sci-fi western about redemption and poses an interesting question…is it ever too late to redeem your name?

This book is perfect for any older teen interested in reading about real topics with heavy biblical themes. It’s got grit, justice, and, most importantly, such an interesting world!

Outlaw Blood

Clye Galler is the last of his outlaw gang. Or so he thinks.

On the run from the law and the guilt that haunts him, Clye sets out to redeem his sullied name.

Turned loose with a posse of bounty hunters, Clye cuts a deal to capture his former blood brother in the Yeller gang. The lawmen want him alive for hanging–to satiate the town’s lust for blood.

Clye has enough skill with a pistol to make a lawman blush, enough power with sand to blind the keenest hawk, and a load of guilt heavy enough to sink a cathrahd to its knees.

In a western sandscape where honor’s everything, Clye is pitted against a conquering gang that has mercy only on those willing to give a finger in sacrifice.

In his stunning debut book, Noah J. Matthews conjures up the depth and grit of Cormac McCarthy, the fluid prose of C.S. Lewis, and the imagination of Neil Gaiman.

They say the blood of an outlaw ain’t worth a pint of milk.

Clye’s bartered with a lot of things in his life–never with his blood…Yet.
