For me, nothing speaks of the power, might and majesty of God like the wonder of creation. I’m fortunate that I live with the Lake District on my doorstep. From the lakes and mountains to the individual birds and flowers, so much of what I’m regularly able to immerse myself in speaks of His wondrous…

I thought it was about time I went on record to thank each and every one of you who has got in touch and shared your experiences with me in the last few weeks. Since the release of my book I have been really touched by the responses I have had from people giving their…

Sometimes in life we see our friends going through tough times and we want to help. We want to be able to do something to make it better. We want to make whatever is making their life hard go away. And sometimes – most times – we can’t. And when we can’t, it’s frustrating. We…

The past few weeks have been odd. I’m used to being in the media but I’m usually the one asking the questions. I’m not used to being on the other side. I’m not used to being asked the questions, to not being in control of how the story reads, of being on the receiving end…
