Claud Jackson is an ex London drug dealer turned trainee vicar. He is currently studying at St Mellitus and working at Holy Trinity Brompton. Guns to God is his first book.

__Claud was just six years old when he first held a gun in his hands. Now, over twenty years later, he is returning to communities just like the one he grew up in, this time holding a Bible.__  
  
Guns to God is the incredible autobiography of Claud Jackson, a young boy who became a drug dealer and professional criminal before giving his life to God through the Alpha Course and later being called to become a Christian minister.  
  
Though exceptional in parts, Claud's journey is remarkably relatable: it is one of being shaped by circumstance and formed through faith, of losing yourself only to be found. Guns to God is an inspiring and thought-provoking Christian autobiography for anyone wanting a stronger understanding of and insight into the struggle against drugs and drug dealing in urban communities in the UK, and the role that the Christian faith has to play.   
  
The story of one man's search for belonging, this an incredible and moving testament to the life-changing power of God.

Guns to God is the autobiography of Claud Jackson, a hardened drug dealer turned trainee vicar, and how he found hope through faith and the power to change.

Anyone who thinks they might be too deeply involved in a lifestyle of crime and deceit, resulting in an inner hollowness, will be inspired that total transformation is possible. Claud, today, is a gentle giant who knows God has a plan for his life. Make sure you read this and discover how God can radically change you too.

Claud Jackson is a man like no other. We are so thankful that he walked into Spoonful Café to do Alpha with our church over 7 years ago. Since then, he has become a treasured friend and we have witnessed his life being transformed by Jesus. We hope that you too, will catch afresh, the hope of the Gospel as you journey through Claud's story.

Claud Jackson led a life of poverty, abuse, drug dealing and violence before encountering Jesus Christ. He is a hugely talented writer who tells his own heart-wrenching story beautifully. Now his life is on a completely different path and by the end his readers are left inspired and full of hope.

Claud's story is one of the height and depth of the love of Christ. I recommend this book to all: for those who love Jesus, and those who are yet to discover his love. Whether you read it in a day or take your time over it, there is a challenge in these pages to see the work of God in one man's life, and the hand of God over all our lives.

The real-life journey of a hardened drug dealer turned vicar as he finds hope through faith and the power to change.
