Tim Costello (2) (1955–)

This is a very accessible book about belief, values, justice and, yes, faith. It's written by a serial practitioner of these ideas, Tim Costello, recently semi-retired CEO of World Vision Australia. The book reads like a collection of short essays, or perhaps blogs. It's easy to read in short bursts, or, like I did, in a couple of days. Tim writes for a wide audience without judgement, although his own position as a Christian of the Baptist variety is never hidden. He's also a lawyer by show more trade, so there is no lack of logic or clarity in the positions he puts forward. The book is the work of a modern Christian leader in the best liberal tradition. He's previously written "Hope". Now "Faith". A trilogy appears in the offing. show less

Tim Costello, CEO of World Vision Australia, shares anecdotes and stories from his life and in particular from his travels for World Vision. I greatly admire Reverend Costello, he is an inspiration and a man who every day strives to make a difference - I very much enjoyed this insight into his way of thinking on public as well as private matters. Food for thought and reflection, from one of my personal heroes.

bits were well written and thoughtfull - some chapters seem to have had sermons added on!
