Getting to Know Him! Part One

                                            

                     The Light of the World painted by Holman Hunt

Jesus said, “Behold I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come into his house…” The New Testament, The Revelation to John Chapter 3 verse 20

Dear friend in Christ,

I hope that you are coping well in these difficult times. I pray that, like me, you are staying as close to God as you possibly can. None of us knows how our whole life will unfold but if we walk with Jesus He will help us through everything!

Polls have shown that during lockdown a quarter adults in the UK have tuned into church services. In other words, when the chips are down they have turned to the right person: Jesus Christ!

Many of these people have never even been inside a church. If you identify with that please understand that you are being called by Christ. I know from personal experience that His call is gentle - He will never force Himself into your life. But through this enforced isolation He has the opportunity to catch your attention.

If you are wondering how to get to know Him better you could start by saying this prayer:

“Dear Lord, I am so sorry that I have not paid proper attention to You before. But I am listening now. I want know You. Please show me how to do this. I ask this in the name of Your Son Jesus Christ. Amen.”

I wrote a book showing clearly how to come close to God. It is called 9 Days to Heaven, How to make everlasting meaning of your life. 

Enjoy 15 minutes of respite with God for 9 days and get to feel His love for you. 

I was blessed to meet Chatman Payne on a promotional trip to New York and this is what he said about 9 Days to Heaven: 

This book is going to help a lot of people who are going through a bad time...

UPDATES!!!

I have been asking God for guidance and listening to His replies for many years. I share my methods in Pray Then Listen, A heart-to-heart with God.

Here is a lovely review: As I read Pray Then Listen, I felt Peace descend. This book felt a little like having a chat with a friend who does not ‘tell me how to pray’ but who shares her own prayer life with me, and encourages me to grow in my own relationship with Jesus – either through modelling her prayers, which she shares throughout the book, or through finding my own way.

Set on the green and beautiful Greek island of Corfu in this novel I show the ever-present backstory of life, as I interpret the supernatural elements of our dilemmas and choices. 

I know, that no matter what your beliefs or experiences, you will surely recognize the tussles of my characters, as tussles in your own life....  Enjoy!

Here is a Fabulous endorsement: “Angel at the Paradise Hotel is an inspiring, touching and moving novel for the ages, generating faith, optimism and, above all, hope. A very enjoyable read, which I highly recommend!”
