In a follow up to her bestselling book Real Lives, popular author D J Carswell will now release Live Wires.

The book introduces real stories of people's lives being changed through Jesus Christ. Featured people include an actor, a successful businessman, a singer, and a Page Three photographer.

Some of those who tell their stories are everyday people like Liz, a hairdresser who came to Christ through attending a Billy Graham crusade. Some are extraordinary like the astronaut, James Irwin, who walked on the moon in 1969 as part of the Apollo 15 mission and felt there an overwhelming sense of the presence of God.

There is bravery in the story of Rachel, a teenage cancer sufferer sustained by her faith, and drama in the story of Eddie, a policeman shot during the troubles in Northern Ireland. Ken, the Page Three photographer, relates how his long-suffering Christian wife banned him from using their home to run courses in glamour photography unless she could talk to all attending about Jesus. He agreed reluctantly and, after 13 long years, his wife's prayers for him were answered when he was baptised a Christian.

D J Carswell writes, "People are fascinating, and the bunch you will meet here are a real mixture from all walks of life, cultures and ages. What they have in common is an encounter with someone who was to change their lives ...for the better."
