Hello, I’m Steve. I discovered a dormant love for writing while working on essays for a post-graduate Theology degree. I was surprised too. Around the same time, I began a long journey to re-learn how to read the Bible. Slowly, I am moving away from accepting that God uses violence to save or punish, and towards an understanding of God where he is as nonviolent and Christ-like as Jesus. I now unapologetically write books and blog from this nonviolent perspective.

Lament Forgive is my first book. In it, I explore how viewing forgiveness as a process of unravelling a knot, combined with lamenting the wrong we’ve suffered, can bring healing to even the most painful of our memories. You can shop for Lament Forgive here or at Amazon or in your favourite ebookstore.

Alongside my writing, I run Cookies and Oxygen Publishing, a relationally-driven independent book publishing business. I live in South Wales with my wife, Carole, and our three children.
