The Inspiring Calm CD was produced and narrated by John Mansfield.
Inspiring Calm was born out of John's own longing to escape the hectic pace of modern life and seek out that elusive quiet place.
Recognizing that many people find it really difficult to find quiet spaces for prayer and reflection, due to time pressure or family responsibilities John created the Inspiring Calm CD to act as a help for personal quiet time. The CD is a resource helping the listener draw close to God in a gentle but deeply moving way.
Over the years John collected together Scriptures that had inspired and helped him in times of need and these form the basis of the spoken words on the Inspiring Calm CD

John enjoys quiet walks away from the crowds, appreciating God's creation and seeking to draw close to Him. He enjoys watching the birds, the wild flowers and the changing seasons. From the calm that John receives from God he seeks to share that calm with others. It is John's desire that all who listen to the CD will experience a blessing of peace from God.
On Sunday's John is a regular reader of the Scripture lesson at St Luke's, his local church.
His second spoken word CD - PSALMS: Hope and Encouragement for our Journey was published Oct 2009. Some tracks from both of John Mansfield's albums have featured on Premier Radio (Tony Miles Saturday Breakfast Show - particularly during the reflective 'Saturday Quiet Time' part of the programme)

'I'd like to commend John Mansfield's CD Inspiring Calm. This CD is the outworking of a vision born in prayer. I think the CD speaks deeply into our busy lives and can be of great value to a lot of people who need to find calm places where they can be conscious of God's prescence.
'John is a lovely, genuine guy. There is nothing of self-promotion in this project. John has used some of the material when leading intercessions at church, and it has been very much appreciated.
'I defy anyone to listen and not be moved!'
