Sheridan Voysey interviews guests each Sunday evening on a national radio program. Twenty five transcripts have been presented in the book and I found it a compelling and engaging read. They are all connected in some ways to a Christian theme, but not everyone interviewed has a personal faith. I found the discussions with Terry Waite (kidnapped and held for years by Islamic terrorists), Philip Yancey, John Smith, Alister McGrath and Adrian Plass full of insights into these fascinating people and their journeys.
The book is especailly relevant for Australians because mixed in with international big names like Max Lucado and John Eldredge are some of my personal Australian heros like Thomas Keneally and Tim Costello.
This material is fresh: Sheridan does not skip the hard questions, and his guests appear to work hard to give honest and reflective answers. As well as being an excellent read for personal enjoyment, high school teachers would find this especially useful in providing very quotable material for ethics and Biblical Studies lessons.
