When The Devil Knocks

When the Devil Knocks includes five stories that begs the question: Does the Devil walk the earth? Does he whisper in your ear and make you do things that you know are undesirable? Or do we have the ability to make our own choices and still choose erroneously? Interns make a choice to try and help a man, but he dies. A woman tries to help her estranged sister, but one of them has ulterior motives. Young girls find that making money is not always glamorous. A mother wants a better life for her son but finds the way she goes about it doesn't pay off. Young men demand respect at the cost of others lives. Does the devil walk the earth whispering lies? You decide.

It is 2031, and beyond the lawless inner city lie the badlands where chemical and biological cesspools have driven nature to delirium and disorder. Massive superhighways crisscross the ruined countryside, promising a one-way ticket to anybody's worst nightmare. Denver is a police state--and a revolution waiting to happen. Jake Strait's job runs more to knocking off killers, not toppling cities. But things get hot enough in his particular corner of hell that hurtling across a toxic wasteland against an impregnable fortress looks good.

Despite its long history of encounters with colonialism, slavery, and neocolonialism, Panama continues to be an under-researched site of African Diaspora identity, culture, and performance. To address this void, Renée Alexander Craft examines an Afro-Latin Carnival performance tradition called "Congo" as it is enacted in the town of Portobelo, Panama--the nexus of trade in the Spanish colonial world. In When the Devil Knocks: The Congo Tradition and the Politics of Blackness in Twentieth-Century Panama, Alexander Craft draws on over a decade of critical ethnographic research to argue that Congo traditions tell the story of cimarronaje, charting self-liberated Africans' triumph over enslavement, their parody of the Spanish Crown and Catholic Church, their central values of communalism and self-determination, and their hard-won victories toward national inclusion and belonging. When the Devil Knocks analyzes the Congo tradition as a dynamic cultural, ritual, and identity performance that tells an important story about a Black cultural past while continuing to create itself in a Black cultural present. This book examines "Congo" within the history of twentieth century Panamanian etnia negra culture, politics, and representation, including its circulation within the political economy of contemporary tourism.

The Red Book is C.G. Jung’s record of a period of deep penetration into his unconscious mind in a process that he called ‘active imagination’, undertaken during his mid-life period. Answer to Jung: Making Sense of ‘The Red Book’ provides a close reading of this magnificent yet perplexing text and its fascinating images, and demonstrates that the fantasies in The Red Book are not entirely original, but that their plots, characters and symbolism are remarkably similar to some of the higher degree rituals of Continental Freemasonry. It argues that the fantasies may be memories of a series of terrifying initiatory ordeals, possibly undergone in childhood, using altered or spurious versions of these Masonic rites. It then compares these initiatory scenarios with accounts of ritual trauma that have been reported since the 1980s. This is the first full-length study of The Red Book to focus on the fantasies themselves and provide such an external explanation for them. Sonu Shamdasani describes The Red Book as an incomplete task that Jung left to posterity as a ‘message in a bottle’ that would someday come ashore. Answer to Jung brings its message to shore, providing a coherent, but disturbing, interpretation of each of the fantasies and their accompanying images.

This volume combines three best-selling books—The Invading Force, A Call to Action, and Run to the Battle—in their original form but updated for today’s reader. The prophetic message they bring is just as powerful and relevant today as it was when author Roberts Liardon first spoke it. “When you invade, do not have second thoughts and retreat—just invade. You are in it to the death—not your death, but the devil’s death! Your attitude needs to be, I am going to win, or I am going to die fighting.” The Holy Spirit is bringing revival to the church, and the church is rising up in a fresh anointing, a holy faith, and a Spirit-led zeal to win the lost as never before. If you are a believer who is serious about fulfilling God’s call on your life and taking this world for Jesus Christ, the truths in this new edition will transform you into a powerful soldier in God’s army. These three books in one provide the vital information and wisdom you need to hear God’s voice and Run to the Battle!

In this book, Watchman Nee outlines the pathway for those who have an ear to hear. Like a skilled physician, he first exposes the problems besetting seeking Christians. Using God's Word, he candidly examines the defeated state of the believers, then presses for a cute, opening up a revelation of the victorious, overcoming Christ.
