Publisher's Summary

An inspiring and raw autobiography from the Reverend Paul Cowley MBE.

Paul Cowley grew up in Manchester amid the chaotic world of his alcoholic parents. His early exposure to heavy drinking, explosive arguments and the unnerving aggression of his father led him into homelessness and crime. By 17, he was behind bars.

Years later, following a career in the army which 'made a man of him' yet ultimately failed to give him direction and purpose, Paul's search for meaning resulted in an unexpected encounter with God that changed his life for ever.

This remarkable and touching account of his early years, from thief to prisoner, soldier and, eventually, priest, should inspire anyone who feels their life is out of control. It is, by turns, a dramatic, traumatic and comic story, yet one that stands as a testament to how God offers hope to all who have the courage to respond.

Inspirational

Inspirational is certainly not a word I use lightly. I use it as I was truly inspired to do something because of this audio book.

I had heard of the author, Rev Paul as he had appeared on the Alpha series. Something he touches on in the book

I found Paul's story (well the first part), very relatable. Coming from the North of England, having a troubled youth and strangely finding solace through military service. The second part (2) of the book is what I found inspiring. Especially being drawn to help those who have found themselves in prison shunned by most of society.

A great and inspiring listen. Thank you 🙏

Motivational

This is a great story of a life transformed from bad to good. It motivates me to investigate what I can get involved in to help others find the One who has the power to transform their lives. I want to be a doer, not just a hearer.
