Though the prison walls hold him, he finds himself a free man. This is just the beginning of a complex and fascinating testimony.

Absorbing and amazing
Having met Tony Anthony and heard him speak, I can say he is far more complex and amazing than this story of his life can portray. This is simply his testimony, his history. The man himself has a confidence and yet a vulnerability that shows his honest and fervent passion for the lost.

This book is the major events in his life, and his thoughts and emotions at the time. From the innocent and confused child who was dealt many a harsh blow, to the arrogant and deadly trained killer he became (and beyond), his story flows smoothly and captivatingly. I enjoyed the jokes, winced and gasped at the fights, shed a tear at the fates of him and his friends. One of the most memorable books you will ever read, and could even change your life.

If there are people wondering why the training he recieved was non-standard, and the 3 championships he won are not recorded:
His grandfather (A grand master) was training Tony as the one to take over, and spared no techniques or incentives to make him the best of the best. And the Kung-Fu championships are highly illegal, if you have a record of it, expect to be arrested :)

If it could happen to him...it could happen to you
This real life tale is a deeply moving story of a Kung Fu World Champion. With a fascinating view into the dark side of China's martial arts.
Read how a four-year-old child was taken away from his home and trained and transfered into a killer
Tony becomes an elite bodyguard, protecting some of the world's most powerful people but his heart is stone.

After personal heartache, Tony begins to use his deadly skills for illegal gain and personal kicks. All this lands him in prison and he is totally alone except for the visits of a stranger..but this is no ordinary visitor and he does not give up on Tony.
God has something to say to Tony and this stranger is His messenger.
A complex and fascinating testimony and I only hope this book is widely read and used as an inspiration...
A Wonderfilled book!
