  From a New York Times Notable "writer of great originality" comes a bold new novel about love, faith, and two societal outsiders whose lives converge in the contemporary American South 
   
   
   
  In 2014, in Lookout Mountain, Alabama, the Prophet—a seventy-year-old man who paints his visions—lives off the grid in a cabin near the Georgia border. While scrounging for materials at the local scrapyard, the Prophet sees a car pull up to an abandoned gas station. In the back seat is a teenage girl with zip ties on her wrists, a girl he realizes he must rescue from her current life. Her name is Michael, and the Prophet feels certain that she is a messenger sent by God to take his end-time warnings to the White House. Michael finds herself in the Prophet's remote, art-filled cabin, and as their uncertain dynamic evolves into tender friendship, she is offered a surprising opportunity to escape her past—and perhaps change her future. 
   
   
   
  Moving through the worlds of the Prophet, the girl, and a beguiling devil figure who dances in the corner of their lives, Two-Step Devil is a propulsive, philosophical examination of fate and faith that dares to ask what salvation, if any, can be found in our modern world.

  Mental health resources increasingly focus on the self as the antidote to psychological suffering, offering strategies for prioritizing self-care and self-esteem. Yet as people focus more on the self, their suffering may actually worsen, as evidenced by the prevalence of mental health disorders today. According to Christian clinical psychologist Joshua Knabb, when people focus less on the self and more on God, their mental and spiritual health may improve. 
   
  Combining up-to-date psychological research with theological reflection, this book helps readers better understand the role that awe, pursued through the act of worship, plays in optimal psychological and spiritual functioning. Knabb explains that at its core, Christian mental and spiritual health involves worshipful awe of God, which can be intentionally cultivated throughout the day. The book also includes practices for readers to try out and use in clinical contexts. 
   
  Worship and Awe in Christian Psychology will benefit students in Christian counseling and psychology programs, mental health practitioners, and others who want to improve their mental and spiritual health from a Christian perspective.

  Every person on the face of the planet is hardwired from the factory of heaven with dreams, hopes, gifts, and callings to accomplish God's purpose and destiny. We are birthed with a wide-eyed, childlike wonder and expectancy that we are involved in something much larger than ourselves. As a child, something in our hearts knew that there was a purpose and destiny to be discovered and released. Back then, life was an adventure. We looked around every corner for the next exciting thing. As adults, life evolves into a series of calculated risks. The adventure is removed and the expectation dies. We were created for adventure, to be daring, bold, fabulous and remarkable. We were destined to reflect the unique expression of God Almighty! However, life has a way of short-circuiting that original wiring. It seems the older we get, the less dreaming we do. We grow up but in the wrong way. Over time our mind takes over and our heart and spirit dies. The result: We are alive but not really living. You will discover in the pages of this book that nothing in your heart has stunned God or caught him off guard. Nothing in your past, present or your future has deterred God's plan and purpose for you. Your God given destiny can be found in one place.....The Original Sanctuary - your heart.
