In times when materialism and competition threaten to overwhelm all that we used to hold dear, Reverend Tim Costello senses a common cry: What can we do?
Tim Costello believes there are some things we can do, like re-asserting the humane values necessary for genuine progress. His inspiration is his Christian tradition and the aspirations of people he encounters on his travels. He swaps stories with homeless youths, CEOs, Aboriginal elders and Hanson supporters, school children and religious leaders, graziers and drug addicts. In candidly exploring experiences of friendship, ambition, risk, public-versus-private identity, home, ritual and grace, he shares the insights, moments of confusion and new meaning which lead to growth.
Tim Costello offers these reflections as tips to fellow soul-searchers. His stimulating mix of personal wisdom and street-wise humour leads us to reflect on what will be precious to us in the long run, not only as individuals but also as families, workmates and fellow citizens.
