Books with author MM Francis

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.
