David Jones was born in 1941 in the industrial north. The factories have all gone now and the trees and woodlands have been allowed to thrive, providing a home for many kinds of British wildlife. Cycle paths and nature trails now cover the neighbourhood where both red and grey squirrels can be seen to live in close proximity and they don't even squabble. We have badgers, stoats and weasels, and occasionally we will get a visit from a fox. This is the environment that provided the inspiration for this story.

David Jones' book is a significant contribution to the understanding of the history of the Alliance Church in Congo and Cabinda. It is a fascinating narrative-from an excellent story teller-of how the history of the Congo Church is intertwined with the history of the Cabinda Church.

Sue and Nick Pye were a happy, loving couple. They were married in September 1988 and planned to start a family within two years. Sadly, they discovered they could not have children of their own, so decided to adopt. In December 1995 a six month old baby girl was placed with them and they were overjoyed. Their family was complete.

Rebecca was a lovely little girl, whose radiant smile captured the hearts of everyone she met, and her parents doted on her. When she started school her future looked bright - but then illness struck.

It was the beginning of a nightmare for the family and a desperate battle for Rebecca as the medical profession, baffled at first over her symptoms, eventually arrived at a diagnosis that she was suffering from a rare disease in which life expectancy was limited. The news devastated her parents. In a short time, their daughter deteriorated to the point where she was left fighting for her life and doctors told Sue and Nick to prepare themselves for the worst.

Rebecca was suffering from Leigh Syndrome, a disease noted for its degradation in one's ability to control movements caused by lesions on the brain stem.

Supported by family and friends, Sue and Nick kept vigil at Alder Hey Children's Hospital, Liverpool, for three months as their little girl, just four and a half, fought for survival. But what doctors hadn't bargained for was Rebecca's character and spirit. She clung to life, often being kept alive by a ventilator, but she fought the incurable disease sufficiently to return home.

Despite many setbacks Rebecca continued to confound medical opinion and live life, albeit with restrictions, to the full. Hers is an incredible and inspirational story . . .

They reside in the darkest of places. They come in any number of horrifying shapes and sizes. They are spoken of only in whispers. They are the demons that terrorize our species--images of ultimate evil that exist in every society. Evil in Our Midst provides a chilling glimpse of fifty dark angels, each of which represents a culture's greatest fears. Every chapter opens with a story that shares the legend of a demon, and then provides fascinating information on the culture that, in many cases, perpetuates this belief. You'll learn about the Ligahoo, a Caribbean werewolf who lives off the blood of its prey; the Windigo, who wanders the frigid woods of North America, paralyzing victims with its death-haunted screams; and Mexico's La Llorona, the Weeping Woman who causes madness and death. Evil in Our Midst presents neither ancient mythology nor mere folklore. Rather, it is a portal into the reality of living in a world of demons. For those who believe in these creatures, it gives reason to fear the unknown in a world where brutal death may be waiting around the next bend. For those who do not believe in demons, this book provides terrifying reading for a stormy night.
