Khabar Gembira:
A History of the Catholic Church In East Malaysia and Brunei, 1880-1976
------
John Rooney
The history of the Roman Catholic Church for most of the century celebrated in this book is based mainly on the work of the Mill Hill Missionaries, founded in the UK a couple of decades before the arrival of the first Mill Hill Fathers to reach Borneo in 1881. At the time there were just 20 Roman Catholics in what is now East Malaysia and Brunei. This book records how their numbers increased to 200,000 in one hundred years.
