Great cover to cover

This story goes from childhood crime to living through the hard times of Uganda, Africa to involvement with the paramilitaries of Northern Ireland. This story never boggs down and was the most inspirational biography that I have read in recent times.

A "real life miracle" story everyone should read.

This is the true story of James Reed; a loser, alcoholic, drug addict, thief, and a basic degenerate. Then, in a twist of fate, he is snatched from the pit of hell by the saving grace of the Lord Jesus Christ.This is, by far, the more realistic presentation of a life completely turned around that I have had the pleasure to have read. The author, Noel Davidson, is from Ireland and has a unique writing style that keeps you wanting for more. And there is plenty more here to keep you going. Noel writes like a person thinks so it is an easy, enjoyable, adventurous read. And the Lord takes takes this new life and casts James into the one of the greatest adventure stories since likes of Moses, King David, or the apostles themselves. This is a must read for all who know the Lord - and definite must read for those who want to know what the Lord could do with the life of one who does not yet know the Lord.I could not put it down. It's a keeper.
