CONVICTED OR CONDEMNED? £7.99 The inspiring story of one man's journey to redemption. 'I had stabbed him. In one fluid moment, and almost without truly thinking about it, I had drawn my knife and plunged it into his body.' In an instant, Dez Brown's life had inalterably changed direction. As he unintentionally ended the life of a stranger in a busy London park, Dez dived headlong into a downward spiral that would almost certainly lead to prison and a life in ruins. But another direction lay ahead. Dez came up against a force more powerful than he could ever imagine - one that would ask him to give up life as he knew it. As the justice system called him to account for his actions, could he trust the voice that seemed to be calling when all else around seemed dark? A gritty true story, written from the heart, Convicted or Condemned? is the sometimes dark but ultimately inspiring story of one man's journey to redemption. Dez Brown is the main youth leader at one of London's largest churches, Emmanuel Christian Centre Walthamstow. He is married to Sheila and they have four children. Martin Saunders is the editor of Youthwork magazine and has written several books including the novel 'England's Messiah', 'David Street's Christmas Diary' and 'East End to East Coast'. He lives with his wife Jo in Surrey.

TAMING THE TIGER A real life testimony that reads like a blockbusting thriller. CBC Book of the Year 2005 and winner of the biography category in the UK Christian Book Awards 2006. This fast-paced, compelling and chilling account, is the deeply moving story of a three-times Kung Fu World Champion. With fascinating insight into the traditions of China's martial arts, it documents the abusive upbringing that turned a four-year-old child into a hardened, professional killer. From China to Europe and across the Meditarranean, we follow Tony as he becomes an elite bodyguard, protecting some of the world's most powerful people. Following personal tragedy, Tony's extreme discipline and the philosophy of his art is quickly turned. He begins to use his skills for illegal means and highly destructive, bloodthirsty pleasure. Eventually incarcerated in jail in Cyprus, Tony hits rock bottom. Through the visits of a stranger, he is introduced to the reality and life-changing power of Jesus Christ. Though the prison walls hold him, he finds himself a free man. This is just the beginning of a complex and fascinating testimony. Tony Anthony is an evangelist and establised Avanti Ministries, an organisation that works with local churches, helping them to communicate the Good News.
