There are many Christians who are in the public eye. Simon Smart has put together a great book that details the impact Jesus has had on the lives of the famous.Stories have a way of getting under our skin; they are especially powerful in illuminating life's deepest questions and struggles. This is particularly true in the area of faith. Where a carefully constructed theological explanation of God's existence may leave us cold, one person's account of extraordinary endurance challenges our convictions and stirs our imagination.
In the exciting new book, Bright Lights, Dark Nights, we talk with 13 remarkable Australians and share in their personal stories of faith. Two renowned doctors, a judge, two professional sportsmen, a television newsreader, a policeman, a former prisoner and his wife, a court chaplain, a soldier, the head of an aid organisation, and a mum to many. Some are well known and highly respected; others just 'ordinary' people whose stories you'll never forget.
This book will encourage you to persevere and inspire others to believe.
