The first book published in 1998 was ‘Sacred Celebrations: Liturgies for Children’. It was an instant hit with teachers and children’s liturgy teams who were looking for simple yet creative ways to pray with children. Many other publications, including PowerPoint reflections (on CD) have followed and are listed on this site.
Probably the best known of my resources are the Just Imagine books which contain many creative ideas for bringing Scripture alive for children, young people and adults.
Many of my books provide creative ideas, prayers and rituals for use with children, youth and adults in a variety of contexts: school, liturgy, retreats, kids clubs, youth groups and many others.
