I Believe This



In 1996, 100 well-known Australians tackled the biggest question of all, exploring their personal truths in a frank, provocative and uplifting way. Almost a decade later, in a timely revisiting of the nature of the Australian soul, bestselling author John Marsden asks another 100 eminent Australians to open their hearts and articulate the beliefs they hold most dear. Honest, surprising and inspirational, here is a snapshot of the Australian spirit as it grapples with life, our world and what it all means.
Contributors include Margaret Olley, Bob Carr, Santo Cilauro, Bryce Courtenay and Greg Chappell.
