It is with sadness that we bid farewell today to our youth editor of many years, Martin Cole. Martin has been with The Good Book Company for 16 years and in that time has been responsible for the writing of every issue of Discover and Engage ... not to mention quite a few youth tracts too.
His inimitable sense of humour and unending stream of sports trivia will be a great loss to the office. His devotion to the football team of his home town Chesterfield United - was only exceeded by his devotion to the Lord - and his love of sharing God's word with teenagers. We praise God greatly for the fruit that his writing has produced in young lives around the world.
Martin had a special skill as a wordsmith - and his love of wordplay led to many hilarious headlines. Here are some of my favourites:
Bye Martin! Thanks a ton. We'll miss you heaps. And every blessing for the future ...
All of us in The Good Book Team
