Myth-Busting the Father of LiesDespite growing secularization, our culture still pays a lot of attention to the devil. He shows up everywhere from movies to music and is blamed for all sorts of crimes, natural disasters, and the policies of politicians we don't like. Yet in the Bible, Satan is barely present, barely speaks, and is subject to God's authority. So how has he gotten so much airtime in the lives of Christians and the wider culture?Award-winning biographer Jared Brock sorts through the myths and misinformation about the devil, revealing a biblical adversary we need to know, including- his real name, home, and life story--past, present, and apocalyptic future- his actual powers--and lack of power- how to spot, avoid, and overcome his tests, tricks, and tacticsWhen we have a biblical understanding of our adversary, we'll see new and deeper ways to follow Jesus, grasp our role in His epic story, and find hope in Christ's absolute authority over all things.

John Wayne Cleaver hunts demons: they've killed his neighbors, his family, and the girl he loves, but in the end he's always won. Now he works for a secret government kill team, using his gift to hunt and kill as many monsters as he can . . . . . . but the monsters have noticed, and the quiet game of cat and mouse is about to erupt into a full scale supernatural war. John doesn't want the life he's stuck with. He doesn't want the FBI bossing him around, he doesn't want his only friend imprisoned in a mental ward, and he doesn't want to face the terrifying cannibal who calls himself The Hunter. John doesn't want to kill people. But as the song says, you can't always get what you want. John has learned that the hard way; his clothes have the stains to prove it. When John again faces evil, he'll know what he has to do. The Devil's Only Friend is the first book in a brand-new John Wayne Cleaver trilogy by New York Times bestselling author Dan Wells.

The bestselling Johnstones deliver their second book featuring Ben Savage, a former Texas Ranger-turned bar owner in the rough and tough town of Buzzard's Bluff. The Texas Rose Saloon has a reputation for attracting the wildest characters the Wild West has to offer. But there's a new owner in town, and when a former lawman like Ben Savage is at the bar, there are two kinds of shots on order: the kind that come from a bottle of whiskey...and the kind that come from the barrel of his gun. At the Texas Rose Saloon, you can bet your bottom dollar that some lowlife will try to cheat you, beat you, or defeat you. But bar owner Ben Savage won't let a few bad customers ruin a good time. And he's got the guns to prove it... Located in the bullet-riddled heart of Texas, the Texas Rose Saloon in the town of Buzzard's Bluff, is a magnet for drifters, grifters, and outlaws on the run. That's why the bar's manager, the beautiful Rachel Baskin, is glad the new owner is Ben Savage. A former Pinkerton agent with a fast draw and low threshold for trouble, Savage knows how to keep the peace. But when notorious hellraiser Malcolm Hazzard is released from prison--and heading to Wolf Creek to kill the local sheriff--the whole town knows the lawman doesn't have a prayer. There's only one way to stop a devil like Hazzard. It's hard. It's mean. And it's Savage...

Devil's Dance

Devil's Dance

G Pineau

University of Nebraska Press
2006

In a sexual frenzy, Mina tries to lose both herself and the phantoms that have haunted her since she left Guadeloupe. In particular, she cannot elude the ghost of her beloved sister Rosalia, who burned in a fire from which Mina escaped. Ultimately, in the company of a tormented man recently released from a mental hospital, Mina returns to Piment, her birthplace, to unravel the mystery of her family's curse. Sorting through stories of quarrels and betrayals, incest and rivalry, black magic and sorcery, the two find what they seek: the key to what tortures them. In their quest, Gisele Pineau explores the questions of migration, exile, and return that have distinguished her work among Francophone writers within the Creole tradition. An intensely felt and strikingly original tale, Devil's Dance shows Pineau's genius for mapping the lost soul in search of itself. Gisele Pineau is a psychiatric nurse and novelist living in Paris. She is considered by many to be one of the canonical writers in the creolite movement in Francophone literature. Her novel L'esperance-macadam, later translated as Macadam Dreams (Nebraska 2003), is frequently cited as a masterpiece of French-Caribbean literature. C. Dickson is a professional translator living in France whose many translations include Pineau's Macadam Dreams and Mohammed Dib's Savage Night, both available in Bison Books editions.

Devil's Gate

Devil's Gate

Tom Rea

University of Oklahoma Press
2013

Devil's Gate - the name conjures difficult passage and portends a doubtful outcome. In this eloquent and captivating narrative, Tom Rea traces the history of the Sweetwater River valley in central Wyoming - a remote place including Devil's Gate, Independence Rock, and other sites along a stretch of the Oregon Trail - to show how ownership of a place can translate into owning its story. Seemingly in the middle of nowhere, Devil's Gate is the center of a landscape that threatens to shrink any inhabitants to insignificance except for one thing: ownership of the land and the stories they choose to tell about it. The static serenity of the once heavily traveled region masks a history of conflict. Tom Sun, an early rancher, played a role here in the lynching of the only woman ever hanged in Wyoming. The lynching was dismissed as swift frontier justice in the wake of cattle theft, but Rea finds more complicated motives that involve land and water rights. The Sun name was linked with the land for generations. In the 1990s, the Mormon Church purchased part of the Sun ranch to memorialize Martin's Cove as the site of handcart pioneers who froze to death in the valley in 1856. The treeless, arid country around Devil's Gate seems too immense for ownership. But stories run with the land. People who own the land can own the stories, at least for a time.
