With the Devil's Help


Book Description

In the tradition of The Glass Castle, Educated, and Heartland, Neal Wootentraces five decades of his dirt-poor, Alabama mountain family as the years and secrets coalesce. Neal Wooten grew up in a tiny community atop Sand Mountain, Alabama, where everyone was white and everyone was poor. Prohibition was still embraced. If you wanted alcohol, you had to drive to Georgia or ask the bootlegger sitting next to you in church. Tent revivals, snake handlers, and sacred harp music were the norm, and everyone was welcome as long as you weren’t Black, brown, gay, atheist, Muslim, a damn Yankee, or a Tennessee Vol fan. The Wooten's lived a secret existence in a shack in the woods with no running water, no insulation, and almost no electricity. Even the school bus and mail carrier wouldn’t go there. Neal’s family could hide where they were, but not what they were. They were poor white trash. Cops could see it. Teachers could see it. Everyone could see it. Growing up, Neal was weaned on folklore legends of his grandfather—his quick wit, quick feet, and quick temper. He discovers how this volatile disposition led to a murder, a conviction, and ultimately to a daring prison escape and a closely guarded family secret. Being followed by a black car with men in black suits was as normal to Neal as using an outhouse, carrying drinking water from a stream, and doing homework by the light of a kerosene lamp. And Neal’s father, having inherited the very same traits of his father, made sure the frigid mountain winters weren’t the most brutal thing his family faced. Told from two perspectives, this story alternates between Neal’s life and his grandfather’s, culminating in a shocking revelation. Take a journey to the Deep South and learn what it’s like to be born on the wrong side of the tracks, the wrong side of the law, and the wrong side of a violent mental illness.

Why Does God Allow Evil?


Book Description

"If you are looking for one book to make sense of the problem of evil, this book is for you." Sean McDowell Grasping This Truth Will Change Your View of God Forever If God is good and all-powerful, why doesn't He put a stop to the evil in this world? Christians and non-Christians alike struggle with the concept of a loving God who allows widespread suffering in this life and never-ending punishment in hell. We wrestle with questions such as... Why do bad things happen to good people? Why should we have to pay for Adam's sin? How can eternal judgment be fair? But what if the real problem doesn't start with God...but with us? Clay Jones, an associate professor of Christian apologetics at Biola University, examines what Scripture truly says about the nature of evil and why God allows it. Along the way, he'll help you discover the contrasting abundance of God's grace, the overwhelming joy of heaven, and the extraordinary destiny of believers.

Dealing with the Devil


Book Description

For the first twenty years of my Christian life, no one told me about Satan. I didn't dream that there was a personal devil, any more than I had previously believed Jesus was a personal Savior. How could I know there were spiritual mechanics for defeating him just as there are mechanics for receiving Christ? I didn't know there was anything I had to do about Satan to defeat him any more than I knew I had to do to something about Jesus to be saved. No pastor, no professor at seminary, no friend in Christ ventured to explain our greatest enemy-Satan. I have learned a wonderful, practical way to deal with him. You can't imagine what it is like when Satan flees! It is glorious! Yes, he comes back and there is no bottom to his bag of tricks, but what a fantastic moment when he flees from you as you send him on his way in the power of the Holy Spirit! If you haven't tasted this awesome privilege in Christ, you must! You need to learn this skill to be a conquering, successful Christian in this evil world! I don't want any Christian, God allows me to reach, to go through this life without knowing the thrill of that moment. I have found it to be the key to victory in the Christian life. My motive for writing this book is for you to know how to have victory over Satan. It is not a devotional manual. It is not Godward, but Satanward. If you find a point or two which appear to be upsetting, please believe I want only for you to regard Satan as your personal enemy and to equip you with a means for resisting and defeating him. After reading this book, you'll never be able to say, "no one ever told me about Satan!"
