Brothers Keeper (2006)
Brothers Keeper, the second in the series
started with Mysterious Ways, shines on its own.
Author Terry Burns writes with poignant emotions, relatable characters, and a thoroughly
enjoyable plot. Professionally written, Brothers Keeper, takes the reader on an
exciting trip into the old west, but without really being a western. The inspirational thread, while pivotal in the plot, is neither preachy nor offensive. The return of some of the characters from the first book was like visiting with old friends. Well written and a delight to read, Terry Burns has turned out another winning novel!

Shepherds Son (2006)
Mr. Burns stands in a long line of cowboy storytellers, and Shepherds Son is vintage Terry Burns. In this deceptively simple story of a sheepherder clashing with cattle ranchers and finding true love in the process, he spins another one of his signature yarns of grace and subtlety. Reading a Terry Burns novel is like sitting around a campfire out on the trail under a sky full of moon and stars, listening to tales shared by the cowpokes in their soft, unhurried drawl.

Trails of the Dime Novel (2006)
Trails of the Dime Novel is a delightful new book, especially for younger readers. As Rick Dayton heads West to write the little books that were so popular at the turn of the century, little did he know he would not be writing the adventures, but living them. Each chapter resulted in another of the small tomes, full of humor, and fascinating tales. It's a great read even for adults.

Mysterious Ways (2005)
Reviewer:
Joan M. Shoup "J. M. Hochstetler" (Charlotte, TN United States)
Terry Burns has crafted a deceptively simple, often humorous story that reveals layers of profound truth as you turn the pages. And turn those pages, you will! Whether you like Westerns or not, you'll be captivated by this story of a thief's redemption. Burns brings his characters to life with a deft and easy touch, and before you know it, you not only care deeply about their fates, but you're actually rooting for the "bad" guy to see the light and laughing out loud as his well-laid plans lead him to a reward considerably more valuable than what he had in mind. Read this story for entertainment, but don't be surprised if you find yourself moved in ways you didn't expect.

Don't I Know You? (2003)
Les Williams Lincoln, Nebraska United States
Larry Smith is a common name for a cowboy. But it's not Larry's name folks remember. Everyone Larry meets feels like they know him from somewhere which leads to all sorts of consequences. There all kind of surprises in store for the reader of Terry's WONDERFUL STORY-DON'T I KNOW YOU? Terry Burns has done it again...written a very good inspirational western that I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!

To Keep a Promise (2002)
Reviewed by Michelle Buckman
Terry Burns breaks into print in a novel rich in Texan drawl and old western authenticity. To Keep A Promise opens with a determined couple leaving a wagon train to set off on their own, only to be set upon by savages. Patrick, an eager evangelizing preacher, steps out to share the Good Book with the savages and meets an untimely demise, leaving his wife, Janie, alone on a trail to nowhere with no one to help her survive.
In To Keep A Promise, Terry Burns weaves a heartwarming story sure to entertain readers of all ages, and leave them ready for his next book to hit the shelves.

Refining Silver
Malachi 3:3 says: "He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver". This verse puzzled some women in a Bible study and they wondered what this statement meant about the character and nature of God. One of the women offered to find out the process of refining silver and get back to the group at their next Bible Study.
That week, the woman called a silversmith and made an appointment to watch him at work. She didn't mention anything about the reason for her interest beyond her curiosity about the process of refining silver.
As she watched the silversmith, he held a piece of silver over the fire and let it heat up. He explained that in refining silver, one needed to hold the silver in the middle of the fire where the flames were hottest as to burn away all the impurities. The woman thought about God holding us in such a hot spot then she thought again about the verse that says: "He sits as a refiner and purifier of silver."
She asked the silversmith if it was true that he had to sit there in front of the fire the whole time the silver was being refined. The silversmith answered that yes, he not only had to sit there holding the silver, but he had to keep his eyes on the silver the entire time it was in the fire. If the silver was left a moment too long in the flames, it would be destroyed!
The woman was silent for a moment. Then she asked the silversmith, "How do you know when the silver is fully refined?" He smiled at her and answered, "Oh, that's easy - when I see my image in it."

I go back to the doctor Thursday,but I'm believing our Doctor is taking care of me. We serve a Mighty God and I thank you for talking to Him about me,and bless your hearts for praying down strengh for Stella she never wavered through it all thank you so much!!! But the most important thing is, just listen to this oh Hallelujah Bless His Name they will never stop His plan! With me being home yesterday God allowed me to cross pathes with this lady she's lost and knows she needs Christ. We talked briefly and she was crying under deep conviction and said she had to go.But before she left I ask her to visit us here at shoutlife. Well I as we all have felt, I thought we would never hear from her. Guess what not only did she visit she opened her on page! Her name is Michelle I added her to my top 25 list please go by pray and encourage her! Let her know what we are all about Amen! Sorry such a long letter and I cant type it has took me about an hour to write this,but oh Hallelujah one more soul for Him Amen!
