Faith by Tim Costello
In a world that is so often challenging, with events that cause us all to wonder what is going on, Tim Costello takes us on a journey through the notion of faith and how we all need to believe in something greater than ourselves, no matter what religious background we are from. In this thoughtful and provocative book Tim explores some of the world's most challenging issues, including refugees, corruption, war, intolerance, poverty, inequality and global warming. He meditates on what is going wrong and points out how we so often lose sight of our shared humanity. In Faith Tim Costello takes us all to task on the big issues facing our world. Challenging and thought provoking no matter what the status of your faith, this is a book to savour and re-read. On Tim Costello: -"Tim Costello's currency is stories."

Paul Ronalds, CEO, Save the Children -"He just lives it [his faith]" Nick Xenophon Reader's online reviews from Amazon for Tim's previous book, Hope: -"Thoughtful, fascinating, broad-ranging read." -"Made me stop and self reflect."
