Welcome!
I'm Jo. I'm a Christian writer and musician, and my husband Dan is a photographer. Our goal is to encourage and strengthen you in your Christian journey, especially when the going is tough.
My first 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!
"Beautifully presented, thoughtfully written, and scripturally rooted."
Steve Alliston, Pastor of Crawley Community Church
"Gently positive and real."
Tanya Marlow, Author of 'Those Who Wait'
