We live in the age of Corona paradoxes: I’m bored I’m busy I’m frightened I’ve not got time to think I must stay home to save lives I must leave home to save lives I feel guilty as I sit enjoying the afternoon sun in my garden I feel frustrated as I stare from […]
As we experience ‘Lockdown’ because of the Coronavirus, an encouragement has been the blackbirds’ song. The apple tree, resplendent with blossom has filled the view from my bedroom window. There, amongst the branches, blackbirds sing their hearts out. No matter how I feel the blossoms are beautiful and the birds keep singing. Life has slowed […]
I don’t think Jesus’ disciples were afraid of the water that day, or even the wind that was so contrary.

They knew the water, […]

We have had a bumper week of press, with a review of our new fiction title Secrets She Kept by Cathy Gohlke, a special review of Even the Sparrow by Jill Weber, and an article on our big year of events in 2019, all in Together Magazine. An article from Johannes Hartl, author of God […]
Johannes Hartl’s hours spent with God in prayer, matched by his evident desire that the world would know this glorious God of whom he so vividly writes, seeps into every syllable of this book. I say every syllable with good reason. Hartl demonstrates a poet’s longing for just the right word or phrase. Even via […]
