I had once again been shot at point-blank range. I died about four times whilst in hospital.
Abused as a child, Tommy had the hardest of starts. And it didn’t get any better. Guns, gangs and drugs became the centre points of a life rapidly falling apart.
Then there was the bullet. From point blank range.
Not many people die and come back. Not many get a second chance. But Tommy did. From the streets to the pulpit, this is the remarkable story of a man who cried for mercy. And was heard.

"A compelling read, a fantastic yet brutally honest book."
Ken Davidson (Christ Encounters Tabernacle)
"Abuse, gangs, drugs, violence, guns, prison was a way of life - but when Jesus breaks through, everything is transformed. A page-turning, no-holds-barred biography that you won’t be able to put down."
Jonathan Stanfield (Living Hope, Isle of Man)
"An honest and at times heart-wrenching read. I can testify to the very genuine transformation that has taken place in Tommy’s life through the amazing grace and power of God."
