To all parents checking the contents of this book before purchasing, be assured that you will not find a single occult or Satanic chant, reversed prayer, incantation, spell, curse, recipes, potions, charms, talismans, drawing or photo of any Satanic emblem, symbol or diagram in this book. This biography is extremely teenage-friendly and was re-written three times for that specific purpose. It was decided from the outset to use a very easy style of writing, yet removing nothing from the heart wrenching and dramatic true life story you hold in your hands right now. No Christian teenager or young adult’s life is at risk reading this biography; in fact, they will be drawn much closer to God. Our constant prayer is that, should any unbeliever pick up this book and read it to the end, they will find Christ first and foremost. Phil Botha received his instructions from the Lord, who laid down certain rules for him when sharing his testimony in thousands of churches across this country. Those rules and wishes were respected and strictly adhered to before publishing his biography.No evil spirit, spirit-guide or demon’s personal name (that must be spoken articulately when requesting their appearance) is given. Instead Phil used pseudonyms to protect bored youngsters from foolishly attempting to conjure up a demon by their given name. Jesus Christ must receive all the honour, praise and glory for this book, from cover to cover, and we have purposely refrained from using the terms Satan and the devil. Throughout this biography he shall be known as he was known in scripture, simply “the enemy”.Deceived by a high school teacher who contacted a departed loved one and blatantly lied to by a church minister concerning his salvation Phil starts his first job at a laboratory. He is invited to a different church where no judgement is drawn and no mention of hell or sin is ever preached. Three weeks after his meaningless Christian confirmation this embittered and confused teenager is initiated into the priesthood of Satanism in central Pietermaritzburg. For the next seventeen long and lonely years he is imprisoned in the most secretive and untraceable organisation in the world.This biography will shock, amaze and bless you and at times will even leave you speechless. Nothing was added to make the enemy a fraction more evil than he already is, and no supernatural Hollywood-scripts have been added amongst the pages of this book for the sake of sensation. This biography was directed by the Holy Spirit and is centred on Christ.It is our secondary goal and prayer that Phil’s biography will be read by every teacher, lecturer, pastor, policeman, magistrate, parent and teenager living in South Africa today. Due to the South African courts having such a huge lack of knowledge on and proof of Satanism, and basing everything on the non-existent evidence of South Africa’s ‘expert on occult crimes’, the courts battle with differentiating between Satanism and bored, ruthless and sadistic teenagers. No one suddenly wakes up one morning and decides, “I want to become a Satanist.” Phil Botha was chosen by the spirits governing the Movement before the age of ten and they began to lure and deceive him using apparitions, teachers and ministers.

In 1905, Francis Yeats-Brown, then a young cavalryman, arrives in Bengal to serve in the 41st Bengal Lancers regiment. He quickly discovers that life in the presence of his fellow soldiers is anything but boring. When not on active duty, he spends his time riding horses around the countryside, hunting wild pigs and boars, and smoking tobacco. In addition to all this, Yeats-Brown begins to write about his exploits in India and the life of a Bengal lancer. In the middle of all this, he falls in love with "Masheen", a local woman with a talent for dancing, with whom he begins an affair. Their love becomes known as "his forbidden love affair" within his regiment.

Francis Fisher Browne was an American editor and critic. Browne’s most famous work was a detailed biography on Abraham Lincoln called The Every-day Life of Abraham Lincoln. Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865) is one of the most famous Americans in history and one of the country’s most revered presidents. Schoolchildren can recite the life story of Lincoln, the “Westerner” who educated himself and became a self made man, rising from lawyer to leader of the new Republican Party before becoming the 16th President of the United States. Lincoln successfully navigated the Union through the Civil War but didn’t live to witness his crowning achievement, becoming the first president assassinated when he was shot at Ford’s Theater by John Wilkes Booth on April 14, 1865. In the generation after the Civil War, Lincoln became an American deity and one of the most written about men in history. With such a sterling reputation, even historians hesitate to write a critical word; in Team of Rivals Doris Kearns Goodwin casts Lincoln as an almost superhuman puppet master in control of his Cabinet’s political machinations and the war’s direction, juggling the balancing act flawlessly. As a result, Lincoln the man is far less known than Lincoln the myth.

In an old time, long ago, when the fairies were in the world, there lived a little girl so very fair and pleasant of look, that they called her Snowflower. This girl was good as well as pretty. No one had ever seen her frown or heard her say a cross word, and young and old were glad when they saw her coming.Snowflower had no relation in the world but a very old grandmother, called Dame Frostyface. People did not like her quite so well as her granddaughter, for she was cross enough at times, though always kind to Snowflower. They lived together in a little cottage built of peat and thatched with reeds, on the edge of a great forest. Tall trees sheltered its back from the north wind, and the midday sun made its front warm and cheerful. Swallows built in the eaves, and daisies grew thick at the door.
