I’m sure you get many hundreds of e-mails like this but I feel compelled to write to you and say thanks. Thanks for putting the trivial things in life back into proper perspective. It’s all too easy to let relatively minor things in life grow out of proportion. Hearing your story last Wednesday night was really amazing and helped to ‘re-
align’ things which I had, quite frankly, been overly worrying about. On top of that, what a fantastic delivery. I can’t remember the last time I have heard someone speak so captivatingly for well over an hour. A true inspiration.

John Peters was superb – wasn’t expecting things so powerful. Not sure how to top him next time. Many thanks.
The audience was absolutely captivated by him and absorbed every single word that he delivered. John truly is a hero in every sense of the word and the feedback that we have received from our guests is off the scale! At an awards ceremony where we celebrated qualities such as bravery, courage and pride, it was absolutely fitting to welcome a man like John whose own courage, bravery and pride, mirrored that of some of the honorable guests we hosted.

Your ability to describe your ordeal was so clear: I felt that I was in the plane with you, in the desert with you and in the cell with you. I know I could never possible imagine, for real, what you went through and I sincerely hope no-one else ever has to endure that sort of treatment again.
