Bright Lights Dark Nights

In late 2008, Simon Smart's book of interviews, Bright Lights Dark Nights - the enduring faith of 13 remarkable Australians, hit the shelves.  The compilation recounts journeys of faith of some well-known and highly accomplished Australians.

The book includes interviews with Head of World Vision Tim Costello, former Test Cricketer Justin Langer, NSW Police Comissioner Andrew Scipione, former head of the SAS in Australian, Jim Wallace, and golfer Aaron Baddeley.

In the following series, we have invited a number of them into the CPX studio to tell us something of their lives and the way faith has sustained them through some dark times.
