HARDMAN SOFTENS
Why � lm star Chuck Norris is helping others
Another brilliant instalment from best-selling author
editorTime is marching on and spring is in the offi ng with Easter peeking out from around the corner.
It’s a great time of year with new life in focus all around, in the church and in the garden, and we’ve packed plenty of fantastic features into your latest edition of iBelieve too! Life is good!
Chuck Norris makes a special guest appearance in this issue that you’re about to enjoy – and he’s more about the message than the muscles, even if he does still pack a mean punch with his famous roundhouse kicks! The macho man to end all machismo talks about his faith, which keeps him fi ghting fi t and raring to go.
And if Chuck has a straight ahead knockout of a testimony, Brooke Fraser brings all the bright breezy beauty that characterises her wonderful songs. The New
Zealand-born pop star explains what gives meaning to her life as well as her music – and brings it all back down to earth with her quirky, humorous style.
Humour is available by the bucket load in our latest instalment of Sophie Neville’s biographical tale of hilarious woe! If only illness were this funny when it happened to me!
Easter is the perfect time to remember that we’re part of something much larger than ourselves. The Church is one the most remarkable institutions on the planet. The Body of Christ has been active for a couple of millennia and it’s thriving globally today. Join in brothers and sisters in the great family of God... and celebrate the great gift the Lord gave us in salvation this Easter!
