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 seventeen 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.

I have heard Paul Cowley speak about his amazing life story. It is very encouraging and achingly honest

Astonishing testimony

Janet Morris

Ordered a copy after hearing an interview with Paul Cowley. An excellent account of how God restored one man’s destructive life for the benefit of many more through the Alpha Courses. Ordered a second copy for a friend.

Amazing

Hookway .

Well written, gripping, incredible story. A must read!

Amazing true story of grace!

Jean Adams

This book is an amazing account of what God can do in an individual's life. Once you start reading this book you will not want to put it down until you have finished.

It cannot be denied that Paul’s life is marked by extraordinary transformation. As a friend I have watched his life story unfurl from brokenness to purpose, indeed invincible determination to make a difference, resulting in innumerable other lives being impacted and given hope.

One man’s life transformed through faith
