The Ultimate Freedom by John H. Wyndham is a compelling, true spiritual adventure story that takes place in a Japanese prison camp on Java during the Second World War. The author, a prisoner of war for three years, was first considered a spy and was about to be executed. He prayed for divine direction and was given an unexpected answer which saved his own life, changed the lives of others and even brought about amazing experiences with his captors. Many true stories have been told, such as "Unbroken," and this one is not only true, but enters a new dimension of war experience. The spiritual dimension the author had recourse to is what sets this account apart from all others. The spiritual adventure continues after the war with issues of employment and income being solved through the author's spiritual resources. The account of ANZAC Day alone will astound and move you to tears! A must-read war story!
