Tell me the story of being changed by the Gospel

Jess has never had a problem with ideas or having enough words to write. She's always got at least one story on the go if not more, and she's always reading something.

Jess's prime interest is people and the internal change that occurs, particularly in light of the Gospel of Jesus. In real life, huge internal change can occur even in the most mundane of scenarios, but to her that doesn't change the miracle of transformation. As a result her fiction work is mostly centred around people and how Jesus loves them so.

Jess is also a gifted Bible teacher and student. For the past few years much of her writing time has focused on writing essays, teaching sessions and sermons. She maintains that the Bible is the best book ever published, and the story of God and his obsession with humanity is the greatest story of all time. She has a great love for Theology as a subject and would love to write in that space one day.

In previous years she maintained a personal blog called Essentially Jess. These days, she contributes sporadically on Substack.
