Dive into the heart of a riveting spiritual journey with John Hamilton and Honest to God, an exploration of faith, excess, success, and the search for meaning. This book takes the reader on a raucous ride from the splintered stages of overflowing, firetrap rock clubs where liquor flowed freely and cocaine was ever-present, to the boardrooms of multi-national corporations where millions of dollars rested on creative ideas, to the ivy-covered campus of the oldest seminary in the country, and finally to a suburban parish. Honest to God brings the reader into the daily life of a pastor who wrestled in secret ― pastoral duties intertwined with the lure of success while having to serve up a watered-down theology. As the author began to reflect on his own journey, cognitive dissonance emerged from the God fan club he unwittingly created. In the midst of spiritual turmoil, Honest to God confronts the parallels between despair and atheism, questioning the nature of God in the face of personal and existential struggles. Readers are left to ponder: Can we even know God?

Billy Sing was a small, dark man and a deadly killer. When, as a member of the Australian Imperial Force 5th Light Horse, he was thrust onto the narrow strip of land held by the Australians on Gallipoli, he witnessed the terrible effects of the Turkish snipers and decided to fight fire with fire. Using a simple Lee Enfield .303 rifle, Sing began to pick off unwary Turks who exposed themselves. Assisted by a spotter who would single out targets for him, Sing acquired an unrivalled reputation as he killed increasing numbers of enemy soldiers. He became known as the Anzac Angel of Death and the Assassin of Gallipoli and was considered to be the most successful sniper and most feared man in Gallipoli. The Turks, aware of his reputation decided to target Sing with their own marksman. In a deadly duel, Sing fired first and killed Abdul the Terrible. This is a vivid account of the merciless nature of the fighting in the Gallipoli Campaign from an award-winning journalist and best-selling author.
