This book is about the varied life experiences of Geoffrey Ralph
Wood born in rural Hertfordshire UK in 1926. Each chapter is
complete in itself recounting a time period or theme. There is a
rich mix of romance, grief, humour, hope and faith. He received no
formal schooling from before the age of eleven but had the
confidence to make life work whatever the obstacle. A simple quiet
faith exploded into a vibrant spirituality by an out-of-this-world
visionary experience at the age of sixty-six, which is the climax
of Geoff's story. Geoff was the youngest child of four born into a
farming community. Life was tragically disrupted aged four, when
his parent's marriage ended. The family, of two boys and two girls,
was divided and he moved with his mother and eldest sister to urban
Newport S Wales. There were many changes of address. Farm life -
horses - romance - employment situations - comic episodes -
air-raids and three impressionable years in the army are
remembered. In midlife his life totally collapsed; he lost his
wife, home and employment. But he fought back with a natural faith
and sense of optimism to rebuild his life in a brand new beginning.
No children came but in 1993 aged sixty-six years old, after moving
from N Wales to N Shropshire, he had a fantastic unsought for
visionary experience that wonderfully and totally changed his life.
Prior to this he had no religious background. He retired with his
second wife Dorothy to Ellesmere Shropshire. This book is written
to inspire hope and faith, with much human interest and a laugh or
two
