    About this ebook

    “That man has spoken some very hard facts. He was free, so free, because he didn’t know my position. He said, ‘These people can pray. They pray for people who recover even from curses of the dead. They pray for the sick that recover. These people can raise the dead to life. They can also preach. They can preach until you get converted.
    “‘But they have terrible badness. They are mad. After praying, they preach. After preaching, even if they are married, they want to add another wife. They are never satisfied. That is their badness. It is their madness. If they don’t take your wife, they will take your daughter. They can even take your mother!’”

    Author

    James Kemoli Amata

    I am a retired secondary school teacher of Kiswahili (and Christian Religious Education) and an excited preventive healthcare marketer with Green World Health Products Company.I am a 1976 University of Nairobi Bachelor of Education [Arts (Hons)] graduate and a freelance content writer with a passion for writing and indeed I am a farmer-like author with many titles.I published my first book in 1985, by traditional publishing. I have tried self-publishing and now I am in great heat to explore E-publishing.However, I will never forget my Taaluma ya Ushairi (with Kitula King’ei) from which the publisher ate fat alone, and happens to be an E-book without my knowledge.As I do my business, I worship God in African Kenya Sabcrynnsk of Soi (Prayer and Healing) Church.
