    About this ebook

    WHAT IF EVERYTHING YOU HAVE EVER BELIEVED ABOUT BEING A CHRISTIAN WAS ....WRONG?

    ”Right behind the pulpit, was a reminder of why we were gathered here – a massive crucifix, flown in from a country I cannot remember at this time, with the figure of the Saviour who was in agony as he bled for you and I. The only challenge was that right now, the ‘Saviour’ was looking at me with a big wide grin, his hands extended and pinned down by massive nails, same as his feet.
    As I watched with widening eyes, he slowly dislodged his legs from the nails, held in place only by his hands. Then right before my eyes, he took out one hand, and then the other, balanced for a split second in midair, before doing an extremely clean and well executed back flip that sat him right atop our old rugged cross!’’
    Terrifying, spellbinding, and heartbreaking, OUR FAVOURITE DEMON takes us through plot twists and heart-racing scenes to reveal what’s hidden or has always been there all along: The true monster isn’t from our nightmares. It resides in the world we live in, and created.

    A few reader comments: “Frozen. Speechless.” “...Such Deep Truth...’’ “..Call It Fiction. I Call It Revelation.” “...An Engaging Piece.” “I Am ...Reaching A Stage Where I’d Rather Read A Book By You Than A Book By Any Famous Author. ... I Guess My Comment Is More Than Sufficient In Itself To Explain How Highly I Rate This Work.” "Scary book. Had me staring at the walls and asking myself questions.."

      ABOUT THE AUTHOR

      If I had known

      how the day would turn out,

      maybe I would have stayed at home,

      or maybe I would have let things happen the way they did

      – or maybe I already knew

      the way things were going to turn out anyway…

      PROLOGUE

      I WOKE UP in a cold sweat, panting hard in the darkness, arms raised above my head in anticipated defense as I waited for him to charge through the walls again, passing through the barriers of what we call solid to catch me in that lethal embrace.

      A hand touched my leg and I screamed – and he screamed as well, my little boy who had come into my room to escape the terror of the thunder that sporadically rocked the heavens from time to time.

      Then there was the faint crackle of lightening that illuminated the room briefly, and then I saw the eerie face behind him – and I screamed yet again!

      What in God’s name is going on with you honey? asked my wife, who had gone to relieve herself and come back to find the sweaty shivering emotional mess that was her husband. All I could say over and over till the realization of the truth in my words slowly calmed me was:

      I had a dream... I had a dream...

      CHAPTER 1

      IT HAD BEEN a Sunday morning, without the rain that was in my current reality. The night had been fairly short, and I had awoken to a world bathed in sunlight that seemed to wash everything in its path with gold.

      I got out of bed with a smile, feeling good with the world and myself for reasons I could not put a finger on. Aha! I thought
