He firmly believes that someone somewhere was looking after him during those four years. Examine the odds stacked against him and his readers will understand why he hold this view. During the conflict in Malaya and Singapore his regiment lost two thirds of its men. More than three hundred patients and staff in the Alexandra Military hospital were slaughtered by the Japanese -  he was the only known survivor. Twenty six percent of British soldiers slaving on the Burma Railway died. More than fifty men out of around six hundred died aboard the Aaska Maru and the Hakasan Maru. Many more did not manage to survive the harshest Japanese winter of 1944\/45, the coldest in Japan since record began. John's experiences make for the most compelling and graphic reading. The courage, endurance and resilience of men like him never ceases to amaze.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56303102132597,"sku":"9781526753441","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781526753441_9a538ee5-254f-4d5f-8cc0-5a49be629d90.jpg?v=1786022511"},{"product_id":"9781783594856","title":"Dying Well – Dying Faithfully","description":"We cannot choreograph our own death, but we can die well.   This is a book for those who are facing death. It is also for their relatives, friends and carers.   John Wyatt looks at recent trends in dying. He examines the 'art of dying', a Christian tradition from the past. We see opportunities for dying well and faithfully, real-world examples of personal growth and instances of reconciliation and personal healing in relationships. On the other hand, there are also challenges to face: the fears and temptations that dying can bring.   We learn from Jesus' example as we focus on his words from the cross. The wonderful news is that we can look forward to 'a sure and steadfast hope', the amazing hope of resurrection and its implications for our lives today.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56305231102325,"sku":"9781783594856","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781783594856_450a920b-5a3d-449a-8963-409b05503894.jpg?v=1786025928"},{"product_id":"9781908213037","title":"The Shining Levels","description":"\u003cp\u003eJohn Wyatt first encountered the Lake District during a boyhood trip to Windermere.

Why aren't these intergenerational friendships more common in the Church today?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn Transforming Friendship, John Wyatt acknowledges that recent serious scandals and suspicion prevalent in our culture have made people more cautious about these kinds of relationships. The church, therefore, needs to lead the way in seeing friendship transformed into something safe, life-giving and Christlike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWyatt shares the transformative experience of being Stott's close friend. Using examples from the Bible, Christian history and the church today, he makes the case for a model of \"Gospel-crafted\" friendship, with a particular emphasis on the need for more Paul-Timothy type relationships like the one he enjoyed with Stott.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56312922014069,"sku":"9781789741230","price":11.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781789741230_a393f8ea-65a3-490f-abae-d06f2bd36da4.jpg?v=1786034536"}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/collections\/author-john-wyatt.oembed","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
