Throughout his cricketing career, Hansie Cronje confessed to be a Christian.
After the bookie scandal came to light this was an embarrassment for some Christians, although for others it showed how Christians can be caught up in sin and still require God's grace and forgiveness.
This book is written with Hansie's faith always in mind.
It reveals:
How easy it is for a person, even a Christian to stumble into sin.
The need for mentors and accountability partners.
How sin and its consequences can overtake someone's life.
Much of Hansie attitude and perspective on life.
How living out someone's dreams and hopes, will come with times of celebrations and difficulties.

Movie: Book of Eli
Book of eli is a new movie with Denzel Washington
The basic synopis is

In the not-too-distant future, some 30 years after the final war, a solitary man walks across the wasteland that was once America. Empty cities, broken highways, seared earth--all around him, the marks of catastrophic destruction. There is no civilization here, no law. The roads belong to gangs that would murder a man for his shoes, an ounce of water...or for nothing at all.
But they're no match for this traveler.
A warrior not by choice but necessity, Eli (Denzel Washington) seeks only peace but, if challenged, will cut his attackers down before they realize their fatal mistake. It's not his life he guards so fiercely but his hope for the future; a hope he has carried and protected for 30 years and is determined to realize. Driven by this commitment and guided by his belief in something greater than himself, Eli does what he must to survive--and continue.
Only one other man in this ruined world understands the power Eli holds, and is determined to make it his own: Carnegie (Gary Oldman), the self-appointed despot of a makeshift town of thieves and gunmen. Meanwhile, Carnegie's adopted daughter Solara (Mila Kunis) is fascinated by Eli for another reason: the glimpse he offers of what may exist beyond her stepfather's domain.
But neither will find it easy to deter him. Nothing--and no one--can stand in his way. Eli must keep moving to fulfill his destiny and bring help to a ravaged humanity. --© Warner Bros
The higher power comes from the Bible he carries
It is about to be released in Australia....February 2010
There are bible study guides available at http://www.screenvue.com/eli/
