Full disclosure. I love Colin. He’s an easy man to like and has inspired me to do what I do now. Colin has given me wonderful advice as I’ve started my career writing and performing Christian kids' songs. We even use the same artist for our album covers. So, I may be a little biased here…

This one is for the teenagers. For their parents. For their youth groups. I remember, all those years ago, as a teenager at school being asked for my take on the Christian sexual ethic to not sleep with a partner before marriage. I totally fluffed it. The blood seemed to instantly drain from my bra…

I like to think of books like meals. There is the ‘McDonald’s book’. It looks so enticing and you devour it in seconds, only to wonder if you’ve read anything of actual substance. There’s your ‘meat and two veg book’. It does the job. It fills you up without…

Jelly Telly is a Children’s Christian media streaming provider. You might have to read that sentence a few times to understand what it means. Still not there? Let me explain. There is an app/website thingy where your children can go to watch high quality Christian shows with helpful, encouragi…

Awesome cutlery is not predominantly concerned with Stainless Steel, well balanced handles or lifetime guarantees. Awesome cutlery is two confused superheroes - Captain Awesomeness and Cutlery Boy - who take us on a musical adventure . Both have powers that are, at best, moderately helpful - I can&r…

“I remember sitting on my bed in my dark bedroom late one night after having had a horrible conversation with my son where I had lost it and said all the things that I told myself I wouldn’t say. In the dark, I felt so defeated, so alone, and so overwhelmed. I remember mumbling to myself…

David Walliams' recent novel, Bad Dad, features a Rolls Royce in a high speed car chase, a break-in to return stolen cash and a gay female vicar who marries the hero’s aunt. It was the 2nd bestselling book of 2017. Only that dastardly Jamie Oliver beat him! There are a lot of children reading …
