The following is an edited extract from his evangelistic book, Three Days that Changed the World, by 10Publishing.
During the First World War, the then Prince of Wales was invited to a special hospital on the outskirts of London. Three dozen of the most wounded men from the front were being cared for. He agreed to pay a visit. On arrival, he was shown over the principal ward. He shook hands with some, spoke kind words to many, and sympathised with them all.
