‘Not Just Friends’ by Nigel Bird
Six friends, one faith, six hearts full of grace.
Six friends, one faith, six hearts full of grace.
In the heart of a bustling city, six friends found solace, not in trendy bars or crowded clubs, but in the warm embrace of their evangelical church. Together, they navigated the maze of young adulthood, guided by their shared belief that the Bible was the word of God. But life, as they were about to discover, had a way of throwing unexpected curveballs.
Join them on their journey as they navigate the twists and turns of life, grappling with dilemmas both profound and mundane, and discovering the true meaning of faith, friendship, and the transformative power of God’s love. In each chapter, follow their stories as they confront their own vulnerabilities, wrestle with doubt, and ultimately find redemption and hope amidst life’s challenges.
Together, they will learn that while the road may be rocky and the path uncertain, they are never alone, for they walk hand in hand with the God of grace, faith, and friendship.

The author has an MA in Mathematics from St. John’s College, Cambridge, where he first relapsed into mental illness that has affected his life, but he claims ‘success’ in being a survivor. He became a Christian at age 26 and worked successfully in the city for a while having gained a distinction in Actuarial Science at City University. He endured spells of severe suffering mentally while also building faith from the conservative evangelical tradition, growing towards a less intellectual and more practical ‘open evangelicalism’.
Watching Arsenal, playing Bridge, and travelling have kept his interest and been helpful to his health as has gaining some insight into mental illness. Writing has also been therapeutic in itself, as well as by receiving encouragement from others.
