I contributed to a book on characters in the Bible entitled Kingdom Encounters: Biblical Characters in Life- changing Conversation, 2009 while studying at Ridley Hall in Cambridge, UK. I had written articles for a Christian journal, but it was satisfying to see my efforts published in a book while I was doing my ordination training for the Anglican Ministry.I later decided to write an introduction to Christian theology as I realised that so often students begin their studies in theology with little background and a great deal of trepidation. Hopefully my book Getting to Know God: An Introduction to Christian Theology will be a guide to new theological students and Christians wanting to know more about their faith and to find their way into the fascinating study of Christian theology.My latest book, Growing to Love God: An Introduction to Christian Spirituality is an introduction to a wide spectrum of writers in the field of Christian spirituality. I have included some of the wonderful themes of prayer, meditation, the need for silence and stillness before God, as well as spiritual formation and spiritual direction. I consider the work and lives of writers from different ages, including Theresa of Avila, Francis of Assisi, John Calvin, Gregory of Nyssa, Thomas Merton and Henri Nouwen among others. I have included the work of African theologians looking at the topic of hospitality, something so important in African life. I am grateful to Michael Thorne for permission to include three of his poems. Writing this book has given me a hunger to delve for more and to pray more.
