Guns to God: My journey from drug dealing to deliverance

Product Information

He spent his childhood treading on eggshells, keen not to provoke the anger which his dad would regularly take out on Claud, his mum, his siblings, and their dog. He left the family home round about the age of 12 or 14 to live with my nan in Brixton and he would come home once or twice a month. Pete was my manager’s manager’s manager, and was more or less the head of an entire department within the council. Now his life is on a completely different path and by the end his readers are left inspired and full of hope.

Claud’s passion for football and his natural talent led to him being invited for a trial at Wimbledon football club at the age of 13. The creeping wilderness will soon take over that church that trusts in its own strength and forgets to watch and pray.Mentoring those young men, I often wondered whether I might even be making a positive impact on them.

My dad was a very old school – thought women should be in the kitchen, cooking, cleaning, looking after the house.To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. RT Kendall, author and pastor of Westminster Chapel for over 25 years, presents some of his favourite messages from his many years in ministry. 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. It is strange that we can spend a lifetime sitting through church services and actually not really pray. It’s not the external forces of secularism, individualism or consumerism that are the biggest threat to the Church today.

I had no idea then that I was about to become both stronger and more vulnerable than I’d ever been in my life.We hope that you too, will catch afresh, the hope of the Gospel as you journey through Claud’s story. Claud hero-worshipped his brother, who left home in his early teens to become a violent drug dealer and was in prison by the time Claud was 7.

Who would possibly believe that one of the mentors working for the council was a drug-dealer in his spare time? When Claud was 12, he joined a new school where he was one of only 3 black or mixed-race children in a school of 700 pupils and experienced racism for the first time.This was something I would often do when pulled over, as it would give off the impression that I had nothing to hide.
