Book Description
"...a dizzying adventure. One that deals with life, death, humor, loss, prejudice, love, and of course, music. I very simply loved it." - Eric Church It's the 1800's, a time when the Wild West earned its name. Young brothers Audie and Shane DeVine have settled into life with their missionary father at an Apache camp when they barely escape a brutal massacre by the US Army. Swearing vengeance, they spend the next decade of their lives with the Apache, honing their skills in music and in fighting with deadly accuracy. The DeVine Devils unwittingly become the most famous band of their time, thundering out a rhythm on guitar and drums that brings them notoriety, whiskey, women, and trouble. Will the brothers abandon their promise of revenge for a life of fame and fortune? Or will they use their talents to execute savage retribution? Follow the DeVine Devils on their dangerous and dark journey filled with colorful characters and compelling music. This adventurous tale will have you hoping the words and music never stop. "Jeremy does an amazing job of using that [musical] bond as a backbone to a dizzying adventure--one that deals with life, death, humor, loss, prejudices, love, and of course music. I very simply loved it." -Eric Church, Country Music Artist "The DeVine Devils is an exceptionally well-written and fantastically entertaining novel. Jeremy Spillman shines as an author with this release, pushing forward a fast-moving and wholly engrossing narrative, particularly in the dialogue of his characters. The plot is original, something that's not easy to find when talking about Western literature. "-- Readers' Favorite "Prolific country songwriter Spillman moves into narrative fiction with a unique spin on the Wild West genre, combining outlaw violence with rock-star fame. . . Nonstop action, with two murderous heroes that Western fans will love."--Kirkus Reviews "I read Jeremy Spillman's book because I know him and am a fan of his as a songwriter and as a man. I also love westerns although they usually disappoint me as they are often formulaic and have no interesting female characters. I may have opened Jeremy's book with a sigh of trepidation, but I closed it with a sigh of true disappointment that it was over. It is funny, unpredictable, musical, mysterious and yes! There are strong female characters! Badass even! You will not have read another Western like it! Enjoy!" -- Mary Steenburgen, Academy Award Winning Actress and Film Producer "I've been a fan of Jeremy Spillman as a songwriter for as long as I can remember. Like his songs, his debut book illustrates the perfect landscape across the imagination. You can almost feel the midwestern heat on your skin. The DeVine DeVils is a fresh new story, yet reads like an American classic we've all grown up with." -- John Osborne, Country Music Band Brothers Osborne "I grew up in Arizona and I devoured every Zane Grey and Louis L'Amour book ever written. Jeremy has taken that genre which I loved so much and added a new exciting energy! The characters were so dangerous and likable all at the same time. I never quite knew where it was going, which was so appealing to me as a reader. I was blown away. I seriously loved it."-- Ted Danson, Emmy Award Winning Actor "Spillman has managed to take the classic Wild West genre and deliver an absolute page turner with a brand new spin. An intoxicating journey with two brothers who must learn to navigate love, lust, vengeance, violence, and even religion all with the only companion they know to trust . . . music." -- Brandon Lancaster, Country Rock Band LANCO Available where music is streamed and sold, the Devine Devils EP features songs written and produced by author and award-winning songwriter Jeremy Spillman and performed by the DeVine Devils. Also available is the full cast audiobook as narrated by Hall of Fame songwriter Dean Dillon. For more on this extraordinary literary and musical experience, visit www.jeremyspillman.com.

Book Description
The Open Access version of this book, available at www.taylorfrancis.com/books/9781472453983, has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivative 4.0 license. Experiences of hearing the voice of God (or angels, demons, or other spiritual beings) have generally been understood either as religious experiences or else as a feature of mental illness. Some critics of traditional religious faith have dismissed the visions and voices attributed to biblical characters and saints as evidence of mental disorder. However, it is now known that many ordinary people, with no other evidence of mental disorder, also hear voices and that these voices not infrequently include spiritual or religious content. Psychological and interdisciplinary research has shed a revealing light on these experiences in recent years, so that we now know much more about the phenomenon of "hearing voices" than ever before. The present work considers biblical, historical, and scientific accounts of spiritual and mystical experiences of voice hearing in the Christian tradition in order to explore how some voices may be understood theologically as revelatory. It is proposed that in the incarnation, Christian faith finds both an understanding of what it is to be fully human (a theological anthropology), and God’s perfect self-disclosure (revelation). Within such an understanding, revelatory voices represent a key point of interpersonal encounter between human beings and God.
