    Product Description

    Peter Gladwin was barely one when a domestic fire left him horribly scarred. The third of eight children, he was raised on a rough council estate in Halifax. Peter was always in trouble with the police, in and out of care homes, spending his time on the streets. Then he was stabbed and effectively lost the use of his right arm. Every relationship failed. For years Peter took refuge in gambling, drinking and drugs. His sister Annette, four years senior, was called after Peter attempted suicide. She insisted he accompany her to a local church. 'Little did I know that God was there - For the first time in weeks I went to sleep without being drunk or high on drugs.' It was the start of Peter's profound transformation. In 1993 he started a two-year course at the Elim Bible College in Cheshire, and met a lovely Swiss girl, Sarah, who is now his wife. After several years working in drug rehabilitation, he is now a probation officer in Winchester.

    This book literally saved me!!

    Absolutely the biggerst eye opener for me. I read this book while I was in prison and was at my lowest I have ever been. It sat on my shelf of my tiny cell for weeks before i read it. One night i was ready for letting my life go...i had had enough...i felt such a horrible failure. I dont not know what made me pick up this book that particular night? but i did. I read it all in one night, and after i realised that i still had something to live for...my son and my husband. Instead of letting them down yet again by leaving this earth Peter made me see that i could go on. My journey with Christ has started again. I thank God every night for giving me the grace and wisdom to pick up this book and read it. I highly highly reccommend it. God Bless you for reading this.

    Out of the Ashes

    This is a book that is very difficult to read if you come from a normal loving family. The first few chapters make you feel angry yet upset at the same time, angry at the mother, yet upset for the very small child as he grows up in a northern totally dysfunctional family.
    As you read on through the book, it shows God has planted seeds and causes them to grow to fruition and by the end of the book God has transformed Peter from a baby with major profound physical problems and behavioural problems, to a man who is serving God and emulating God’s love and gospel wherever he goes.
    The theological slant of the book will be viewed by many as very Pentecostal or Charismatic. However I feel we should keep an open mind to everything written in the book.
