J John, a Greek-Cypriot by birth, lives in Chorleywood, Hertfordshire. He is married to Killy and they have 3 sons, Michael, Simeon and Benjamin. J John became a Christian in 1975. Since then he has gained the position as one of the leading communicators of Christianity today. J John has been described as refreshing, humorous, passionate, earthy, accessible, dynamic and most of all, ordinary. To date, he has completed thousands of speaking engagements at conferences, towns, cities and universities in 26 countries on 6 continents. One million copies of his books are in print in 13 languages.

J John believes that contemporary society is showing many alarming signs of having turned its back on God or just being unaware of His existence. He argues that the loneliness and anxiety and broken relationships that trouble many people are often symptoms of this separation. J John believes that a lot of people's understanding of Christianity is a misunderstanding. In his own inimitable style he enables his listeners to understand that Christianity is not only reasonable, but relevant and vitally important.

Having studied Theology at St John's College, Nottingham, J John joined the staff of St Nicholas', an Anglican church in the centre of Nottingham. During this time his ability at conveying the Christian message led him to focus on a work aimed at communicating it more effectively. In 1980 the Philo Trust was established to support him in this work. Based in Chorleywood, it acts as an administrative centre for his expanding work. It currently employs three full-time staff and a number of freelance researchers and advisors.
