Join J.John as he interviews another inspirational guest. Facing the Canon this week is Paul Cowley.

Paul served in the army for 17 years before becoming an ordained minister in the Church of England.

Barry Woodward grew up in Salford, Greater Manchester. At 16, he left school with no qualifications and became drawn into the Manchester music and drugs scene. This led to a life of heroin addiction and drug dealing.

After being dependent on heroin for fifteen years and spending a number of terms in prison, Barry had what he describes as a ‘religious experience’, which resulted in his life being totally transformed. This led to him becoming an evangelist and he is now a contemporary communicator who is humorous, passionate and inspirational.

Facing the Canon this week is Andy Economides, Evangelist and long-time friend of J.John whom he introduced to Jesus.

Facing the Canon this week is Esther Sweetman, Survivors Network Coordinator of Restored.

Gary and his wife Catherine founded The Entertainer Ltd, the UK's largest independent toy retailer. He describes himself as a "charismatic evangelical" Christian and his faith guides all aspects of his business. Hence, unusually for British retailers, The Entertainer retail locations do not open on Sundays and the business does not sell products that don't sit well with Gary's faith.
