Welcome to my treasure store. I'm inspired by something Jesus’ said about "a scribe trained for the kingdom" who is like a householder who brings out of his treasure store "things new and old."
I'm over 70 and my life has had ups and downs, dark times and times of joy; encounters with God and times of rebellion, failure and shame. I studied French, German and Linguistics at Bangor University in the 1960s. Called to be a pastor, I then studied Theology and trained at Spurgeon's College. I’ve spent many years in various forms of church leadership. I’ve also worked in local government and been a freelance writer and editor. More recently I’ve trained as a counsellor. I'm a member of Shenley Christian Fellowship, a church in Milton Keynes.
Along the way I’ve gathered a store of insight and wisdom – from the Bible, from experience, and from other people. I want to pass some of it on and to keep learning along the way. This website expresses that ambition. Rummage around. I hope you find something that sends you off with a smile on your face, saying "Hey, look what I've found!"
Think of this site as a warehouse full of valuable items stored on
different levels according to categories.
Ground Floor - The Christian faith and life
Level 1 - Books for sale
Level 2 - Counselling, therapy and healing
Level 3 - Miscellany (items that don't fit elsewhere)
Level 4 - The Church and the Kingdom
