When his wife, Gwen, was diagnosed with motor neurone disease in July 2018, David Raynor began writing a journal. Initially, it was personal, a kind of therapy. He wanted to chart the progress of the incurable disease and to log Scriptures that shed light on what was happening. David and Gwen knew something of God's healing power and the power of prayer, but they could not deny the reality of Gwen's condition. Motor neurone disease slowly shuts down communication from the brain to the muscles; in Gwen's case, she was eventually unable to speak, eat or drink. Through the pain of Gwen's passing in December 2020 David has sensed and recorded experiences of peace, gratitude and even joy that will offer hope and encouragement to those who face similar battles. David Raynor taught English and Latin during his professional career, culminating in 21 years as Headmaster of Scarisbrick Hall School in Lancashire, U.K. He and his wife were among the founder members of Southport Community Church in 1983; he was an elder of the church for a number of years, has led Alpha courses and served in the church's Healing Rooms ministry. He still preaches, teaches, and sings in the worship team. David enjoys watching a range of sports, including the ones he used to play (rugby, cricket, tennis, golf and badminton); music, amateur dramatics, puzzles and reading have been among his other leisure pursuits. He has two sons - both teachers - and six grandchildren.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49631475990801,"sku":"GOR013249676","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53356764299537,"sku":"GOR013749273","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1662865740.jpg?v=1750721282"},{"product_id":"we-need-to-talk-book-david-raynor-9780646985558","title":"We Need To Talk","description":"This is a young adult novel aimed at highlighting the need to talk and communicate effectively with each other to help raise awareness to youth bullying, mental health issues and suicide. We follow the story of Bree, a teenager who appears to have it all together but is the victim of constant bullying that affects Bree so deeply with depression and anxiety that she tragically takes her own life. We look at the aftermath of those she left behind and at where she sits in the spirit world now. Its not all doom and gloom in the novel as the Spirit Angel or God, as some people prefer, has a sense of humour about him. If we can have an effect, open lines of communication or help one person connect in a much needed way to save even just one life we will deem our mission a success.Based on original screenplays written by David Raynor, who has also directed and produced a multi-international award winning short film of the same title, and original novel adapted by Sally-Anne Ward. Both David and Sally-Anne have handled the topic with utmost respect and the delicacy such a topic deserves as they have thoroughly researched the issue and also have experience with loved ones who have fought, are fighting or have succumbed to mental health illness. *trigger warning*Parts of this novel are raw, real and may upset some readers, please if this occurs, reach out for support, it is not our intention to cause upset, we just want to bridge the gap we have found to be missing. Our motto in We Need To Talk is that we need to love and take care of each other. Let's do that, share our love and care with those around us.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51651114107153,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51651114303761,"sku":"NIN9780646985558","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0646985558.jpg?v=1751074280"},{"product_id":"one-school-and-two-families-book-david-raynor-9781914002557","title":"One School and Two Families","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52449197228305,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52449197261073,"sku":"GOR014526115","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781914002557.jpg?v=1759305655"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-david-raynor.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
