A Luminous Encounter

Ann Shakespeare's writing and broadcasting ventures with the BBC World Service and aid agencies have introduced her to inspirational people from all walks of life. Most inspirational was Neville Jawayeera, whom she met while working in London. He fanned the flames of her new faith, and she soon became his pupil and editor. Their dynamic thirty-seven-year friendship lasted through the end of his earthly life. Ann has now embraced a teaching role herself, writing books and articles to help others deepen their relationships with Christ. Her first book, God's Gift of Tremendous Power, was published by Deep River Books in 2019, and her articles are available at annshakespeare.com. In addition to her writing, Ann is active in Bible study groups and her local prayer ministry. Ann lives with her husband, Nicholas, in Lincolnshire, UK. The quiet beaches near their home host hundreds of newborn seal pups every year--a view Ann and Nicholas enjoy sharing with surprised friends.
