Life changed completely for Dave in June 1988 when he became a born-again Christian as a result of taking his mom to church in Selly Oak, Birmingham. Soon afterwards, he began composing inspirational songs. The CALL Compact Disc released in 1997, includes a track titled GOD'S GOOD TIME, produced by Jeff Lynne. Two further inspirational CD albums, LONG WAY HOME and ANGEL LIGHT were released in 1999 and 2002 respectively.
