Who is Richard J Raven?

His work frequently explores encounters with Jesus, questions of faith and doubt, and how ordinary people respond to God in the middle of everyday life.
What is I Was There about?

How should I read I Was There?
The book is designed as a companion to Scripture—short pieces to read alongside the relevant Bible passages, for personal reflection, small groups or devotional use.
What is Under Arnhem about?
nder Arnheim is a faith‑coloured speculative novel set in vast caverns beneath the Australian outback, following an underground community whose survival, stories and beliefs are tested when signs of change appear above and below them.
What is The Argument about?
