My Journey with God in Spite of the Devil

About the Book

Many times, author Clarice Burthey Crudup has been handicapped by the devil trying to gain control of her and move her in the wrong direction. In My Journey with God in Spite of the Devil, she shares the story of how God’s guidance and blessings helped her be successful and conquer the setbacks, including a diagnosis of bi-polar depression. In this memoir, she narrates the miracles God has worked in her life, and she offers insight, gratitude, and inspiration for overcoming the devil through the will of God. Crudup chronicles her journey, giving extensive information on the mental health issues faced by her and her father, discussing her employment as a business education teacher and with government departments, and describing the misinterpretation of her true character by some co-workers. My Journey with God in Spite of the Devil tells how God helped Crudup choose positive, uplifting actions to overcome evil and illustrates how he healed her from the mental depression that was a norm.
