My books draw on my scientific training as a medical doctor, eight years of working as a psychiatrist, twenty-five years as a member of a growing church where I served on the leadership team offering pastoral care, and lived experience during a challenging decade marked by chronic illness, blood cancer, and unexpected losses.
My faith was often faint. I wondered if this was the end of my story. I was not strong enough to live for Jesus the way I wanted to. I could not change myself. And then hope reminded me:
Jesus doesn’t just give us time to change. He patiently helps us grow.
My journey is not one of miraculous healing, but of seeing my life crumble. Then, through a slow process of healing and rebuilding, I learnt:
The resurrection really does change everything. Just not all at once.
Healing takes time. Compassion and patience sustain us over a lifetime of change.
In my writing I wrestle with big questions like:
- What does Jesus’ resurrection mean for you?
- Why is change so difficult? What causes the resistance?
- Why is change so slow? How does grace lead us over a lifetime?
- How do you become a Christian? How can you know if you really are one??
- How do you become a Christian? How can you know if you really are one?
