Boats on the River
A few years ago, I co-authored a book on worship. It sprang from many years delivering music in worship seminars and training events, as well as leading congregations before God. The main author of the book chose to take on the first chapter all about God seeking worshippers. When we came to look at the…

Jesus in the Room
It was Easter and I was at Uni. I was walking home from an event along a leafy street when suddenly, I felt Him. Suddenly, I knew without question that Jesus was walking right alongside me. I felt it so strongly I had to walk almost in the hedge to make sure He didn’t bump…

New Year – New Carpet!
Two months ago, we moved into our new house. Every wall was the same shade of off-white and the floor varied from grey carpets to white tiles. It was at best, clean and neutral, but it felt like it had no soul. We did our best to unpack and make our mark on it with…

The Torn Curtain
One day when I was about 14 years old, some friends came to visit – two boys, the older one, Luke, was my age and the younger one, Simon, was my sister’s age. We went to the local park together without our parents, and as they were sporty types, they brought along some balls to…
