“My new book Refresh: a wellness devotional for the whole Christian life is out now.

"It's a gentle, flexible weekly journal exploring God's design for a healthy and fulfilling life.

"If you're weary, busy or just looking for an interactive way to meet with God, Refresh is for you!

“The topics cover different areas of everyday life, including rest, relationships and emotional health.

“The Bible-based reflections are gentle and encouraging, and thoughtful questions help readers apply the content to their own lives.

"Refresh is a flexible way to slow down, create space and grow in faith.”

Refresh: A Wellness Devotional for the Whole Christian Life was published in January 2022 by Malcolm Down Publishing. It is available from valleyofsprings.com and bookshops.
