The amazing true story of a hardened drug addict’s encounter with Jesus in a rubbish bin, in prison, and how that encounter changed his life.

Colin Garnett grew up in Stockport, South Manchester, in a tough working-class culture. A teenage involvement with alcohol, amphetamines and violence led to an adult heroin addiction. For many years he was lost in a crime-and-drugs lifestyle and did time in 27 different prisons.

But, on 17 June 1993, in a prison chapel, he received Jesus Christ as his Lord and Saviour. From that moment God to transform Colin’s life. He became a highly effective evangelist with a special ministry to those in prison and those trapped in drug addiction. Today Colin leads Bethesda Christian Rehab, helping others to find freedom from drugs through a personal relationship with Jesus.

“Meeting Colin Garnett and hearing something of his story was a spiritual tonic – if not a shake up! May God continue to keep him and use him in this very needy and difficult work for which he is almost uniquely gifted and qualified.” Dirk Lucas, Rector Emeritus, St Helen’s Church, Bishopgate, London.
