Description
‘Fire, fire!’ the frantic shout echoed through the streets of a small Welsh village.
As neighbours desperately organised fire fighting equipment, the Lloyd–Jones family slept, unaware that their home was about to go up in smoke. Martyn, aged ten, was snug in his bed but his life was in danger. What happened to Martyn? How did the fire affect him and his family?

Talented and successful, he was destined to become the Queen’s Surgeon. However, he gave it all up to work for God. In this book you will find out why.
