Inhaltsangabe

‘If we really, really want to change, we can. I am living proof.’ Larry Harvey.

This enthralling biography starts close to Hell and ends close to Heaven.

Larry Harvey was a wild boy, Gypsy, boxer, street fighter, heavy drinker, drug taker, criminal and prisoner. His Rake’s Progress was halted by a near miraculous epic of neurosurgery at Frenchay Hospital which saved his daughter’s life and set Larry on the road to prayer and spiritual searching.

Today he is a Theologian, an Ordained Minister and a Prison Chaplain. What a saga of God’s Grace! As the only other known ex-prisoner to have become an Ordained Prison Chaplain I felt after reading this book that I have led a rather dull life in comparison with Larry’s!

This is a must-read story!

The Revd Jonathan Aitken
Former MP, Cabinet Minister, Prisoner and now Prison Chaplain at HMP Pentonville

Larry Harvey always felt like an outsider. Coming from a Gypsy family he was bullied at junior school and began to turn to a life of crime.

He loved it. He loved the danger, loved the thrill of it. He became a boxer and weight lifter. And turned to drugs and alcohol.

He didn’t care that the path he was taking led him to a traumatic stay in a Young Offenders’ Institute, nights in police cells, 27 convictions and eventually a custodial sentence in Bristol Prison.

Out of prison, he continued on his reckless path. Until the day his daughter was taken dangerously ill. Fleeing to the hospital chapel, he was desperate. Falling on his knees he begged God to save her.

In From Menace to Miracle, Larry tells the remarkable story of his life before he went to that Chapel and the extraordinary things that happened to him and his family afterwards.

An exciting story of an underworld of crime and violence, a dramatic change, a new life and incredible answers to prayer.
