It seemed as if Bodgit's way of doing things was as good as Bert's, until one terrible stormy night...This story is based on Luke 6:46-49 About John Stewart These beautifully crafted illustrations and carefully constructed stories charm and inspire on many levels. John Stewart delivers a powerful gospel message with a delicate touch. Living in Wimborne, Dorset, John has been writing stories since he gave his life to the Lord in 1975.
