Why on Earth and why in Heaven’s Name should I have been surprised to hear that a chap from the SAS had written a book about Faith?

Well, most of us who have been privileged to sail at night in sub-tropical seas in the Southern Hemisphere and gaze upward to see the Southern Cross and the whole panoply of stars in our firmament and ponder upon its Creator must surely have been provided with at least a glimpse of Faith.

So here we have Bear Grylls, OBE, ex-21 SAS from which he had to be invalided after breaking his back in a fall, but who then climbed Mount Everest; has hosted countless ‘Outward Bound’ type TV shows and is Ambassador to 55 million Scouts.

And we eavesdrop on five eyewitness accounts of those who actually lived in the times of Christ; his mother, Doubting Thomas, Simon Peter, John, and Mary Magdalene. Who better to introduce us to the life and times of 2,000 years ago?

This then is THE easy-reading and compelling book for those who may or might like to lend more than just half-an-ear to the Padre’s two minutes’ ‘Thought-For-The-Day’ on the SRE – always assuming that your ship actually has a Padre

Highly recommended!
