Your books have kept me going in the ministry for 25 years. There seemed to be one for every season I entered! They contain the life blood of Jesus – His message of hope and resurrection and strength and love.

…. and now I need you to write one for this current stage… of deep weariness and ‘spent-ness’….. ! or perhaps I’ll revisit some of your earlier works….

Thank you for having the courage to write.

This verse I have seen heroin addicts (who have believed in Jesus) claim as their own. And requote it to others. When suffering has purpose its burden “lessons”. Often that burden can feel heavy however I think that as the cycle of the psalms show, after we come through it we have grown. Whether we grow in bitterness depends (in my own opinion) on wheter we have a relationship wiht a living God or not.

I have posted all I plan to say on this subject elsewhere on the website.

I met you for the first time personally in Auckland when you spoke at the Baptist church in Manukau a few weeks ago. Your presentation “Seasons of the Soul” and those of the UK drama group was great! I shook your hand afterwards and took a photo with you. You are my favourite author and I have been really blessed by your writings over the years. As I mentioned, I never even knew what Grace was until years ago I picked up “What’s so Amazing About Grace”. Jesus obviously rescued me, but your writings reflect to me the heart of God who we can’t help but fall in love with. When I stumbled from deep despair a few years ago “What’s so Amazing about Grace” was a lamp post early on in the long road back to The Father. Thank you for sharing God’s love and using the gift he has blessed you with. God bless you mate as you bless us – your readers.

Thank you sir for your great and inspiring books like The JESUS I never Knew(my fave), What’s so Amazing about Grace, Reaching the Invisible GOD, Finding GOD in unexpected places, Soul Survivor, The BIBLE that JESUS read, and many more. You are like a mentor to me because there is so much to learn from your books, and i feel like i could relate to you more than other christian authors because i am also a Christian pilgrim like you searching for answers which some can be found in your books. I kept reading your books again and again because they are refreshing to read and they really encourage me to grow in knowledge and wisdom from the LORD. I hope to see you personally someday by having one of your books be authographed by you whether you will visit here in the Philippines again someday or be in other countries in the future. My dream is to be a missionary so hopefully when i would be assigned to other countries, i could see you there, or GOD-willing, i could visit you in America as well. May you continue to write more inspiring books for Christian pilgrims like me to read and may you inspire more to grow in love, in grace and in the fellowship of Our Lord and Savior JESUS CHRIST by the power of the HOLY SPIRIT. GODBLESS YOU MORE AND MORE!!!:):):)

…from your inspired fan here in the Philippines

I have read many of your books as well as shared them with many people over the years. They have the ability to pull me out of deep sadness and doubt when my situation in life is difficult…I live in Africa, Kenya where sadness and poverty as well as optimism and faith abound. Have you thought of doing an Africa tour? You are wellcome to visit with us!

I’ve been to Kenya, Somalia, Botswana, Zimbabwe (does Victoria Falls count?) and to South Africa three times. It’s a majestic continent and I may well take you up on your invitation!
