At the time of writing this book – This is The Meaning of Life, on the 1st of January 2026, I am seventy years young! As a retired minister and a Christian author, I still attend the same church – Christ Church Mount Pellon in Halifax, West Yorkshire, where I experienced my first supernatural encounter with God and His angels. This is also where I led the Listening to God meetings, during which we experienced the wonderful manifestations of the love, power, and presence of God that I mentioned in Chapter 2, titled The Power and Presence of God.
At the age of sixty-seven, I received a prophecy from God over my life. I had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and, within a short time, felt and looked as though I was dying from the illness. However, God prophesied to me that He had healed me once before and would do so again, declaring that now was the time for me to begin my ministry. The scripture from Psalm 118:17, 'I shall not die, but live and declare the works of the Lord our God,' became my anchor.
Within three months, the surgeon and doctors declared me completely free of cancer, though they couldn't explain why. God had healed me miraculously, without surgery or medical treatment.
The sole reason for my healing was to start my new ministry: to share with as many people as possible the wonderful works of our Lord God. I want to convey that the meaning of life on Earth is to prepare for eternal life in heaven, to share the amazing evidence of God through Jesus Christ, and to reveal how to become children of God, ensuring they know they will go to heaven when they die.
This is why I wrote my book – This is The Meaning of Life, and why I have made it available as an eBook (PDF eBook), so I can give it away for FREE.
I was recently interviewed by British Christian TV. During the interview, they wanted to know how I became a Christian and how I experienced God speaking to me directly, through his angels, through visions, and how Jesus Christ healed me of pancreatic cancer without my having any surgery or medical treatment. As a Christian author, I was asked about my book, the meaning of life, and the evidence for God.
