About the Author…
If I did not have Jesus in my life I would probably be either dead or in prison by now. When I was 19 the pain of my messed up life formed into a question, “What is life all about, there must be more to life than this?” For a long time I had experienced a growing unease, a disquiet, it was like there was an unchartered void in the centre of my being, I didn’t know what, but there was something missing from my life?

I thought I would give God a try and started trying to read the bible. As a student I was invited by some Christians to their church meeting. Later that night, during the long walk home, the most amazing indescribable feeling of wellbeing and joy seemed to enter my body and fill the vacuum of my soul.
I punched the air, as I knew God had touched me and that he was real, which made my world suddenly very different and I knew that life would never be the same again.
Looking back, I now know that I had encountered the presence of the Holy Spirit for the first time and he now lives through me. If you would like to learn how to find Jesus for yourself check out ‘Blue pill-red pill moment.’
I live in Basingstoke, England and am married to the lovely Jane and we have three teenage Sons. I work in an office environment as a researcher for a company involved with mergers and acquisitions.
I also have the privilege of writing a column called ‘Letters from England‘ on the popular Christian Site ‘Taber’s Truths.’ Would love to connect with you, so please leave comments and I will respond as soon as time allows!
