Description:

This fast-paced, compelling, at times chilling, account is the deeply fascinating story of a three-times crowned 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.

Tony Anthony had a horrific childhood. At the age of four he was sent away by his parents, who lived in England, to be brought up by his mother's parents in China.

Leaving his parents, a flight half-way round the world and being catapulted into a strange culture where he couldn't speak the language, were a complete shock and torment for him

He was brought up by his Chinese grandfather to learn the ways of Kung Fu. It was a hard upbringing, with many harsh beatings and punishments to learn the ways of endurance, concentration and patience that Kung Fu teaches. As time went by his grandfather entered him in Kung Fu competitions all over China and beyond. With great trepidation, at the age of 17, he undertook the ultimate challenge to become a Master, and went on to win the World Championship three times in a row.

Eventually, he returned to his ailing parents in England and started an extraordinary career in close protection security, travelling the world guarding some of the world's wealthiest, most powerful and influential people.

His sense of security was severely dented by the sudden death of his girl friend and his high-flying lifestyle was brought to an abrupt end when he was captured by the police in Cyprus. At his trial, on charges of theft and assault, he was found guilty and sent to the notorious Nicosia Central Prison. However, it was here, after many 'God' experiences and the faithfulness of a prison visitor called Michael, that he was brought to his knees and he met the risen Lord Jesus.

This is a fast moving, compelling and at times chilling account of a life utterly and convincingly changed by the power of the Spirit to bring good out of evil.
