Publisher Description
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.

"I learned about this book from my uncle who visited him in prison in Cyprus when another missionary was on furlough. It's an amazing story both of God's grace to rescue a violent man, and also God's grace to help him face daily life now."

" O carte care are tot ce-ti poti dori, incepand de la stari tensionate pline de suspans pana la lacrimi si bucurie launtrica. M-am simtit bine cititnd aceasta carte, neregratand nici una din filele ei. "

" Awesome story, great description, especially of the martial arts stuff at the beginning. Almost too awesome to be believable. "

" I enjoyed the second half of the book more than the first half. The book is Tony Anthony's life testament to the work and awesome power of God in his life, up until the early 1990's. "

" Since I am a Buddhist of the old style, not the sort who gives a Buddha statue oranges and apples, I find the twist in the book a wee bit... well... I don't really know, I can only say that I liked it at some level - what level that is is yet to be decided. "

" Was a fabulous insight into the dark world of Kung Fu - no Kung Fu Panda type here. Yet God stepped in through a faithful man & changed everything!! "
