Book Description
The devil is the most charismatic and important figure in the blues tradition. He's not just the music's namesake ("the devil's music"), but a shadowy presence who haunts an imagined Mississippi crossroads where, it is claimed, Delta bluesman Robert Johnson traded away his soul in exchange for extraordinary prowess on the guitar. Yet, as scholar and musician Adam Gussow argues, there is much more to the story of the devil and the blues than these cliched understandings. In this groundbreaking study, Gussow takes the full measure of the devil's presence. Working from original transcriptions of more than 125 recordings released during the past ninety years, Gussow explores the varied uses to which black southern blues people have put this trouble-sowing, love-wrecking, but also empowering figure. The book culminates with a bold reinterpretation of Johnson's music and a provocative investigation of the way in which the citizens of Clarksdale, Mississippi, managed to rebrand a commercial hub as "the crossroads" in 1999, claiming Johnson and the devil as their own.

Book Description
Enter inbefore time existed. Be with God and imagine. Travel through the heavens into the great void and back again, from eternity into time. All life that God created was good; then evil entered in. How could God choose to create something that he knew would go bad and love creatures who are so painfully sinful? We must understand why God would want to create such a world in the first place. Read about a god who can love beyond torture and death, then consider if you can agree with the reasons why. God and the Great Void offers a prevalent theme of spiritual guidance to seek a profound understanding of the works of God from the birth of existence and journeys through the many experiences in the Bible. This book has an appealing writing style that makes it an enjoyable read (From the foreword by Tamika Boone, PhD). Laurie Nerat Stodola has great insights in spiritual warfare. Her description of the evil one during the crucifixion is well done! (Barb Colvin, Crown Point, Indiana). Laurie has taken her deepest understanding of the gifts of light and its complexities to share with others in simple terms. Believers and nonbelievers will benefit from Lauries thought provoking and spiritual insight (Bonnie J. Edwards, author of Mama Said, adjunct instructorContinuing Education).
