This fast-paced, compelling, and chilling account is the deeply moving story of a three-time 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 Mediterranean, 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 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.

"As I read this unique book, five words came to my mind. Reality, mercy, grace, forgiveness and transformation. I have the privilege of knowing the author and he is real. God is developing a cutting-edge evangelistic ministry through him and his wife."
GEORGE VERWER
Founder of Operation Mobilization
"How can love and forgiveness ever stand triumphant over the very pit of hell? Here, in this vivid personal account, a worldrenowned Kung Fu expert takes his readers through a terrifying catalog of violence and sudden death to the moment when the flood gates came crashing down and everything changed for ever. This book is going to touch lives all around the world. It has certainly touched me to the depths."
