John and I have been married for over 40 years; together we have served in church and community life throughout that time. We are ordinary people with an extraordinary God!

Our family and friends (in various locations) have supported and helped me to write books over the years, by sharing their love and wisdom, and their patience while I am working!

I began writing many years ago, to encourage others that there is hope despite difficult times. I suffered from deep depression over many years and wanted to help others by sharing my testimony of dealing with this issue (as well as long term illness).

I found renewed hope and steps of healing through faith in Christ, which continues today, but so much has been learnt!

When times of difficulties arise, both John and I know that the truth remains ~ God is for us and not against us and He is our help at every point of need.

I wrote my first book ‘God’s Fruitful Garden’ in 2012 while John and I were leading a home fellowship in Bedford (UK).

John and I also began an online ministry of hope and encouragement at http://www.gardenlandministries.uk

When my husband retired, we moved to North Derbyshire UK, in 2018. We continue to share ‘Good News’ however we can as The Holy Spirit leads.

I have now written three book series to offer simple and foundational Christian teaching: Gardenland Books; His Story and Life in The Spirit.

My heart is always to write in a way that offers encouragement and blessing, sharing The Love and Grace of God

And since I believe that laughter is good medicine 🙂 there are two Abi Tails books available which are fun centred, sharing amusing tales about our family dog ‘Abi’!

God has helped us, and our whole family, in so many ways ~ He sent His Son Jesus because He loves you and wants to help you too.

In His Love, Carmel
