To celebrate the first batch of line-up announcements, this month's free talk comes from long-standing Festival friend Alastair McIntosh.

Alastair is returning to Greenbelt this year, so if you like this talk from his last visit (2006), be sure to check him out at Greenbelt 2009.

You might also want to check out his books, and the books of other authors speaking at this year's Festival over here.

And remember, until 1st May all talks are reduced, with 50% off MP3s and a third off CDs, so you can listen to the likes of Yancey, Yaconelli and even Henri Nouwen from just £1!

To take advantage of this offer, hop over to the Greenbelt Talks shop and once you've found something that tickles your fancy be sure to enter ‘LONGNOW’ at the checkout.
