About me

My name is Jacob Ninan. More than 30 years ago when I was studying in college and living a nominal Christian life, Jesus came into my life unexpectedly. He helped me to repent from my sinful life and experience the grace of God. When I put my trust in Jesus, He began to change my life in every respect. I started reading the Bible earnestly (which then began to make spiritual sense to me) and many Christian books to help me in my life. This seeking to know God and His ways through the study of the Scriptures and from other people has continued with me ever afterwards. Afterwards I grew up in a Bible-centred church where I not only received much teaching but also learned many practical aspects of truth through involved participation in writing, speaking, teaching, publishing, etc. My greatest satisfaction came in helping individuals with their doubts, fears and confusion regarding their spiritual and day to day life.

I have personally gone through many problems with doubts, fears and backsliding in my own life with God, as well as in dealing with other people in different situations. I have learned a lot from my mistakes and watching the mistakes of other Christians. God has used all these situations to teach me humility and to give me a compassion, sympathy and concern for others who are facing difficulties.

Now I want to help others in their Christian life. Like C. S. Lewis said, we are all like patients in a hospital, spiritually speaking. Some are more sick than others, but we all need healing which Jesus alone can give us. What we can do on our part is to give some tips which we have picked up through our experience to others who may be less experienced than we are. That is what I would like to do.

I am professionally trained and accredited in Christian counselling. I work in a secular job which usually keeps me very busy. But I use a lot of my spare time in counselling people personally and through email (for free) who are facing practical problems, and writing articles for magazines and my web site. Most of my counselling seems to be in the areas of marriage and youth problems. I am now in my late fifties, and my wife and I have five grown up children.
