Bill Griffiths lost his sight and both hands as a prisoner of the Japanese in Java in 1942. Despite these handicaps, he was determined not to spend the rest of his life in a home for the disabled. This is his story, as told to Hugh Popham, author of "Into the Wind" and "A Thirst for the Sea".

Blind to Misfortune: A Story of Great Courage in the Face of Adversity

"Somewhere within me I knew that, during these years as a prisoner, I had been in a sense sheltered from reality." Bill Griffiths lost both hands and both eyes when he was a prisoner of the Japanese in Java in 1942. But Bill had no intention of allowing himself to become an object of pity, and it was not long after his return to civilian life that he began to make it clear that, even if he had no hands and no eyes, he still had his own two feet and he certainly intended to stand on them. Inevitably, life has not been without its ups and downs, and certainly Bill could not have got where he was without the care and devotion of his wife Alice. Their story is one of remarkable courage, told with no trace of bitterness and a generous helping of laughter.

Stotty 'n' Spice Cake brings together English Northern regional recipes, dialect, social history and kitchen technology to give us an insight into how kitchen skills, tools and diets have developed.Bill Griffiths takes us on a journey through cooking history - from the griddle on an open fire and the 'beehive' oven to the widely used, much loved and polished kitchen range (th' yuven). This book describes the changing tastes - as well as changes in supplies of meat, fish and grain over the years to include traditions such as the popularity of oatcakes, broth and bread. Recipes from across the region, such as Leak Pudding, Carlins, Singin'-hinny, Taffle Apple, Barley Broth and wartime recipes 'Warton Pie' (Wartime Pie) of course, all served with much home grown Northern humor. A joyous celebration of the history of the food and its people from the North of England.

Oprah Winfrey claimed this to be her number 1 spiritual story in over 20,000 guests and over 13 years of her show and quickly installed the story onto a select show called "The Best of Oprah". This powerful real life story of forgiveness has changed millions of lives in dramatic fashion and will continue to do so wherever boundaries of life have been horribly trespassed and God is allowed to enter the room. The Road to Forgiveness is the story of how Cindy and Bill Griffiths came to forgive-and eventually befriend-the woman who, while driving drunk, killed their daughter, Robyn, and Cindy's mother, Janice, in a horrible automobile accident in June 1996. It is a moving, first-person account of the transforming work God can do in the midst of tragedy. Readers will be inspired to examine their own lives, and to follow this powerful, true example of letting love and mercy triumph-even in the face of tragedy.
