                                  SCHEDULE 13D

                                  Statement of
                               ANTHONY PAUL JOHNS

                       Pursuant to Section 13(d) of the 
                       Securities Exchange Act of 1934

                                 in respect of

                          CTI GROUP (HOLDINGS), INC.


     This statement (the "Statement" or "Amendment No. 4") relates to the

the Schedule 13D of Anthony Paul Johns ("Mr. Johns"), initially filed on or 
about May 31, 1990 (as amended, the "Initial Statement").  This is the first 
amendment to the Initial Statement to be filed electronically.  Accordingly, 
pursuant to Rule 13d-2(c) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 
1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), this Amendment No. 4 is a restatement 
of the Initial Statement.



Item 1.     Security and Issuer

     This Statement relates to a class of equity securities of CTI Group 
(Holdings) Inc., a Delaware corporation formerly known as Communications

share.  The address of the Issuer's principal executive office is 901 South 
Trooper Road, Valley Forge, Pennsylvania 19484.

Item 2.     Identity and Background

     (d)    During the last five (5) years, Mr. Johns has not been convicted 
in any criminal proceedings.

     (e)    During the last five (5) years, Mr. Johns has not been party to a 
civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent 
jurisdiction which has resulted in his being subject to a judgment, decree or 
final order enjoining future obligations of, or prohibiting or mandating 
activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or a finding of any 
violation with respect to such laws.

==============================================================================


     (f)  Mr. Johns is a citizen of the United Kingdom.


Item 3.   Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

     On November 11, 1997, Mr. Johns purchased from John J. Perri, the former 
President of CTI Soft-Com, Inc., a subsidiary of the Issuer ("Mr. Perri"), 
pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement, dated November 11, 1997, between 
these two individuals, 200,000 shares of Common Stock at a price of Forty 
Cents per share, for an aggregate price of Eighty Thousand Dollars.  These 
shares were purchased with personal funds.  Mr. Johns also received from Mr. 
Perri, pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, an irrevocable proxy in 
favor of Mr. Johns for all voting rights relating to an additional 179,147 
shares of Common Stock. 

Item 4.   Purpose of Transaction

     Mr. Johns acquired the shares of Common Stock which are reported herein 
as being owned by him in order to make a substantial equity investment in the 
Issuer.  He intends to continuously review and monitor his equity position in 
the Issuer.

     Whether Mr. Johns purchases or sells any shares of Common Stock in the 
future, and the amount and timing of any such purchases or sales, if any, 
will depend on his continuing assessment of pertinent factors, including, 
without limitation, the following: regulatory, legal and other 
considerations; the availability of shares for purchase at particular price 
levels; the Issuer's business; other business and investment opportunities 
available to Mr. Johns; economic conditions; stock market and money market 
conditions; the availability and cost of financing; and, any other of Mr. 
Johns' plans and requirements.

     Independent of the ownership of Common Stock reported herein, Mr. Johns 
is in a position which provides him with day to day control of the Issuer's 
affairs.  As a director and executive officer of the Issuer, Mr. Johns has 
and will, from time to time, assess and analyze possible corporate 
transactions of which the Issuer could take advantage.  Mr. Johns has 
discussed, generally, many possible transactions and structures for the 
future of the Issuer.  None of such discussions has, at this time, gone 
beyond the most preliminary of stages. Other than as set forth below Mr. 
Johns, in his capacity as a stockholder, does not have any specific present 
plans or proposals, based upon the ownership of Common Stock reported herein 
or otherwise, which relate to, or would result in: (a) an extraordinary 
corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidating 
involving the Issuer; (b) a sale or transfer of a material amount of the 
assets of the Issuer or its subsidiaries; (c) any change in the present board 
of directors or management of the Issuer; (d) any material change in the 
present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer; (e) any other 
material changes in the Issuer's corporate structure or business; (f) any 
changes in the Issuer's charter, bylaws, or instruments corresponding thereto 
or other actions which might impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer 
by any person; (g) a class of securities of the Issuer ceasing to be 
authorized to be quoted in an interdealer quotation system of a registered 
national securities association; (h) a class of equity securities of the 
Issuer becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to the 
Exchange Act or (i) any action similar to any of those enumerated above.  The 
Company has entered into a letter of intent with Siemens PLC to acquire for 
cash its telemarketing products and services business operated through 
Siemens' Databit Ltd. Division.

     Based upon the position of Mr. Johns as a director and Chief Executive 
Officer of the Issuer, Mr. Johns is limited in his ability to freely buy and 
sell Common Stock due to certain constraints, which result from the 
provisions of the Exchange Act, concerning such issues as insider trading and 
short-swing profit recapture.  Notwithstanding anything else contained herein 
to the contrary, the ownership of the Common Stock reported herein and/or 
further

==============================================================================


purchases of Common Stock by Mr. Johns, if any, could have the effect of 1) 
perpetuating present management of the Issuer; and 2) further inhibiting 
business combinations attempted without the prior approval of the Issuer's 
board of directors, unsolicited takeovers and/or changes in control of Issuer.


Item 5.      Interest in Securities of the Issuer

     (a-b)   As of the close of business on December 15, 1997, Mr. Johns is 
the beneficial owner of, and has sole voting power with respect to, 1,899,721 
shares of issued and outstanding Common Stock (including 50,000 shares 
issuable upon the exercise of immediately exercisable options), which shares 
constitute approximately 29.5% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of 
the Issuer (based upon 6,390,314 shares of Common Stock outstanding according 
to the Issuer's Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB for the period ended 
September 30, 1997).

            Of these 1,899,721 shares, Mr. Johns has sole dispositive power 
with respect to 1,720,574.  The 179,147 remaining shares are held by Mr. 
Perri but are subject to the irrevocable proxy in favor of Mr. Johns for all 
voting rights referred to in Item 3 above.

     (c)    On November 11, 1997, Mr. Johns gave 100,000 shares of Common 
Stock, including all rights relating thereto, to his son as a gift.

            On December 2, 1997 Mr. Johns sold 20,000 shares of Common Stock,
in a market transaction, at Thirty-Three Cents per share, for an aggregate 
price of Six Thousand Six Hundred Dollars. Except for such transaction, the 
transaction described in Item 3 above and the gift described in this Item 
5(c), Mr. Johns has not effected any transactions in the securities of the 
Issuer during the past sixty (60) days.

     (d)    Except for the 179,147 shares retained by Mr. Perri, for which Mr.
Johns has voting rights, as described above, no persons, other than Mr. 
Johns, have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of 
dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the shares retained by Mr. 
Johns. 

     (e)    Not applicable.


Item 6.     Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships
            With Respect to Securities of the Issuer

     None.


Item 7.        Material to be Filed as Exhibits.

     None.
