Chris Gidney is a theatrical producer who founded the charity Christians In Entertainment, a spiritual lifeline for mainstream showbiz folk, he's come up with a simple idea for a book, asking an intriguing selection of 30 odd Christian actors, comedians, sportspeople, TV personalities, musicians and even a weatherman (Ian McCaskill) to give their favourite Bible passages and talk briefly why they selected them. There are plenty of musos questioned from Eternal to Sal Solo, Rick Wakeman to Sir Cliff. The whole thing is a bit lightweight and clearly intended as a starter for those who're making first moves towards faith but no doubt it will find an appreciative audience.
