“It all got going with the So-me Music Stories for Juniors. It has given me great pleasure and a fitting way to end my educational experiment to put So-me video stories on YouTube, via kiwiconnexion.nz Click anywhere in the graphic to watch the full video playlist. Some readers might want the hard copies to read to their children and grandchildren, and play and sing-along together. Again, click the graphic to get more information.”

Stuart decided to tackle the problem of how to communicate the essential gospel story for young people.

GOSPELFirst Stuart rewrote the Sermon on the Mount Then, David Bell challenged him to put the words into songs.
