The inspiration for this publication came at the beginning of the COVID lockdown as a way for Rev John to maintain some sort of contact with his congregation. As the lockdown was prolonged, the daily messages became important to many people, who also passed them on to friends and family, and as a result these daily messages have gone around the world.

Each message literally takes just over one minute to read and is intended to provide a daily word that can be carried into each day. I worked with John during the later part of 2023 to create the publication that is an attractive book, but that is not the main focus! The messages within the book are the main focus and the design is there to aid and complement this.
