Bright Lights Dark Nights: The Enduring Faith of 13 Remarkable Australians

Blue Bottle Books, Sydney, NSW, 2008. Softcover. Very Good Condition. 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. Bright Lights, Dark Nights recounts stories of faith from 13 remarkable people. 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. Many are well known and highly respected; others just ‘ordinary’ people whose stories you’ll never forget. Common to them all is a deep conviction of faith as the key to life and the source of hope. This of course places them somewhat out of sync with the dominant secular world, even as they take their place firmly in it. Each case is an example of a true ‘journey of faith’ enduring at times profound challenges and struggles, and illustrating the difference faith can make in a life. 169 pages. Quantity Available: 1.
