Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Billy Young was a boy of 15 when he joined the AIF in 1941. He was an orphan - hungry, broke, with nowhere to sleep - and the army offered him a feed, a blanket and five shillings a day in his pocket. The trouble was, the army sent him off to Malaya where he became a POW when Singapore fell to the Japanese. From Changi, 'Billy the Kid' went on to spend the rest of his teenage years in some of the most barbaric Japanese prisons- the notorious labour camp at Sandakan (from which he escaped), and solitary confinement in the horrific Outram Road prison. Billy survived by a combination of luck, larrikin humour and native cunning, learned as a market boy growing up in Sydney during the Depression. He has lasted into old age by virtue of his extraordinary spirit. In this powerful account of one of the youngest-ever prisoners of war, award-winning author Anthony Hill takes us into the hearts and minds of the POWs, who refused to ever wholly submit to their captors.

Download or read book Billy written by William Paul McKay and published by Thomas Nelson Publishers. This book was released on 2008 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "When Billy Graham was still an unknown local preacher, he was befriended by Charles Templeton, an extremely popular evangelist. A deep friendship grew between the two young men, and they began traveling the world to speak on God's behalf. Bombarded with post-World War II realities of suffering during their European tour, Templeton's desperation for answers spiraled into doubt and hopelessness. He turned to academia in his search for truth, allowed his faith to wither, denounced Christianity in front of his church, and eventually an outspoken atheist. Templeton' disavowal of Christianity and private mocking of Billy Graham led to public scandal and a media free-for-all Billy's ensuing ministry, and a defining moment for twentieth-century Christianity"--Inside cover.
