I have two Diplomas to my name.
One is a Diploma in Automobile Engineering and Motor Trade Management gained in the late 70s and the other is a Diploma from what was Christian Life College, based at St. Mark's, Kennington, London (when the late Canon Sir Nicholas Rivett-Carnac, Bt, was vicar). This was in the 80s under the Principal Elmer Darnall, husband of Jean Darnall (both now also with the Lord). The first followed 3 years at College; the second was 3 evenings a week for two years. So much more has been learned since.

In September 1982 whilst in a church in Tunbridge Wells named Tunbridge Wells Community Church I attended a monthly event named Come Bless The Lord where many speakers came over the years: Bishop David Pytches, Jean Darnall, Derek Prince, Rev. Dennis Bennett (of the books Nine O' Clock in the morning and The Holy Spirit and You), and many more. On this occasion Doctor Dennis Ball was the speaker. Dennis had been part of the Fountain Trust that helped the Charismatic movement in the UK. He was prophetic and had a picture in one of their last meetings that preceded its closure. He spoke that night in 82 and then asked for a certain type of people to come forward for prayer. I remember 5 of us went up and he laid hands on each of us and prophesied over each of us too. I do not remember it all, but this stuck well "As you search, and as you delve, and as you gain the knowledge of the Word, it shall be the equipment of God being given to you…"
Up till then the passage of Scripture I kept being given by third parties was Psalm 32:8 "I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide you with My eye."
Certainly I have learned much since, some which appears not to be much taught (more in a moment). I began to write out of all this in the 90s.

My first book was Will there be Non-Christians in heaven? It outlines with many bible quotes, for the sake of those without bible knowledge, how it is that "the righteous" (as the Bible terms them) among non-Christians are already born again, perhaps best encapsulated by John's words "If you know that He is righteous, you know that everyone who practices righteousness is born of Him" (1 John 2:29; see also Acts 10:35). The importance of evangelism is clear and needs to align with the work God has already been doing in the lives of these hearers. The other bible mentioned group of "the wicked" are seen as going to hell.

Then, in praying to know the next book on God's agenda to write, I was surprised to be given the issue of women in leadership to look into again. I thought I had come to a firm understanding that leadership is male and this I advocated. To my further surprise, but obvious astonishment and interest the Lord turned me around on this view. He showed me a way through the passages in a way I had not read of elsewhere.
       Remember how God promised to teach in Psalm 32:8?
I then sought to learn New Testament Greek to assist in writing this up. After 14 years this became the book Leadership is male?

If you would like to jump in on this topic, I recommend my article
A WOMAN - SILENT, NOT TEACH, NOT RULE OVER A MAN?

During this time I wrote a number of articles relating to the issue of Calvinism and was thereby able soon after to also produce a comprehensive response in my book So you think you're chosen?

Since my 1st book I have also had a number of insights, a dream of an elephant (in a real sense this dream encapsulates what I am about in providing what the saints need to unite) and vision in regards to what I believe is God's heart and plan for revival in the nations. To this end I produced my booklet Revival - The Battleplan. It is now freely readable online.

With many researches and studies over the years into passages and root meaning of words in the bible and only a few of these shared in the above mentioned books, I published in 2011 my 4th book Serious Mistranslations of the Bible.

A formative time and experience of being in a fellowship for about 9 years from the age or 15 to 24, a gathering that ceased abruptly in the Spring of 82 taught me much about deceiving spirits (1 Timothy 4:1 NKJV) and how they work among Christians.
To this end I have written my autobiographical book Pink or Blue - An autobiographical look at how deception operates which came out in 2017.

Further work on the Greek word EKLEKTOS in 2015, exhaustively looking at all related evidence from the Septuagint, has seen the production of Deleting ELECT in the bible (544 pages).

In August 2018 I produced a simpler and more concise Companion to Deleting ELECT in the Bible (144 pages) that lays out fully the case for removing "elect" from effective use.

At a Greenbelt event I "happened" to meet and talk with Jason Garner who told me he was writing a novel. Years later he contacted me saying it was now finished and this led to my acting as a consultant in enabling Jason to publish under his own imprint in 2004. His debut novel Swimming in the Red sea is a Christian fiction story and is recommended to anyone with any interest in counselling. It is a revealing insight into how events in childhood long forgotten can affect our relationships and interaction with others as adults. A great way to illustrate the need to discern carefully the root cause for the way others behave.

In 2011 I was contacted by Jo Patterson after she had approached a number of other publishers about her debut novel. I cried on reading her manuscript which she had speedily accomplished in a few weeks earlier that summer. Reading again I went on to be in tears several more times. This is an anointed inspired story that will move anyone in touch with their emotions (and many not). Perhaps the only Christian fiction book out there that speaks into the issue of teenage pregnancy and equips the saints well in how to handle things. I published the title as CHOSEN - Emma Jones in 2012. In March 2013 Jo and Alan Patterson decided to self publish and took hold of the stock.
