This I believe

The long-awaited paperback edition of last year's gift market hit. This I Believe is the inspirational collection of short pieces by eminent Australians answering the question: 'What do you believe?' John Marsden, arguably one of the best-known and best-respected novelists for young adults, wrote to over a hundred well-known Australians asking them to articulate their beliefs - beliefs which they had arrived at after many and challenging life experiences. This I Believe is the first articulation of the diverse spiritual values of the people of this country and each piece is honest, provocative and inspirational. It's essential reading for anyone remotely interested in what Australians believe in as the country approaches the next century.Contributors include: Stephanie Alexander, Bob Ansett, Raymond Apple, Ray Barrett, John Bell, Wolf Blass, Eric Bogle, Helen Caldicott, John Casimir, Judy Cassab, Arlene J.
