The amazing true story of a former drug dealer and addict and his miraculous journey to faith.

Barry Woodward grew up in Greater Manchester, England. At the age of 16 he left school without any qualifications and was drawn into the drug scene, experimenting with cannabis, amphetamines and LSD. This led to a heroin addiction and life as a drugs supplier.

For fourteen years he was totally dependant on drugs, during which time he spent a number of terms in prison. Miraculously, his life turned around completely following an amazing sequence of supernatural encounters.

'Through the many twists and turns of Barry's life, this 'can't put down' book will have you shocked and surprised but ultimately relieved that there is hope even in the most despairing of circumstances.'
J.John, Philo Trust

'An outstanding example of God's grace and transforming power.'
David Shearman, AOG

Barry Woodward is the founder of Proclaim Trust and an ordained minister with the AOG. He is also an associate evangelist of J.John. He and his wife, Tina, currently live in Greater Manchester, England.
