FM103.2’s “Open House” presenter – Sheridan Voysey, “Reflection” presenter – John Dickson and board member (Sky News Presenter) – Leigh Hatcher have all been short-listed for the 2006 Australian Christian Book of the Year Awards.

Of the nine nominated books, four have been written by FM103.2 colleagues – these include:

“A Spectator’s Guide to Jesus: An Introduction to the Man from Nazareth” and
