A marvellous collection of inspirational, heartwarming true-life stories by the much loved Songs of Praise presenter In the course of her work for the BBC, Pam Rhodes has met hundreds of people whose stories have messages for us all. Some are famous, many are now her friends. Some have found inspiration and support through their Christian faith, others have found strength in other ways. Now a number of them have felt able to share with Pam - and with us - their touching and emotive, sometimes shocking experiences. It's an intimate and encouraging book of personal, heartfelt stories that echo the kinds of challenges most of us face at some time in our lives. For instance, Elaine Harrild was the teacher at Dunblane primary school. Shot herself and handicapped ever since, she witnessed the insane massacre of sixteen children, and has worked ever since to hold their small community together. A group of former POWs who worked on the Death Railway were stunned to hear of a monument to their former comrades in Japan itself, and were moved to return fifty years later to participate in an act of reconciliation. Ruth Merry, paraplegic from birth, talks of her experiences representing Britain in the Disabled Olympics - and her search for a man! And Frances Shand-Kydd talks movingly of her presonal response to the death of her daughter, Princess Diana.
