The Spiritual Sharpshooter: A Powerful Story of Faith, Justice and Compassion
Can one ordinary person make an extraordinary difference in the lives of others?
Author Matt Shea joins Ric Bratton on This Week in America to discuss his inspirational novel, The Spiritual Sharpshooter, a moving story about faith, courage, forgiveness, and the power of kindness.
At the center of the novel is Abner Willis Fowler, a retired military veteran, expert marksman, and deeply compassionate man whose quiet life revolves around helping others. Whether volunteering at animal shelters, comforting the lonely, or protecting vulnerable seniors, Abner believes that true strength comes from serving those who need help.
But beneath his gentle personality lies an extraordinary set of skills. When corruption, cruelty, and exploitation threaten innocent people, Abner takes action. His mission isn’t revenge. It’s justice, accountability, and protecting those who cannot protect themselves.
Inspired by the small-town values celebrated in The Andy Griffith Show, Shea creates a world where ordinary people demonstrate extraordinary courage through faith, compassion, and a commitment to doing what’s right.
