Description
Dave Bullock, an intelligent man with a beautiful wife and young family, had everything to live for, yet he plunged into the dark chasms of depression and destruction. He built his self-worth upon violence and Martial Arts; and reinforced his worthlessness in alcoholism and suicide! Only to be rescued by his rediscovery of Faith and Christianity. Read about Dave's compelling journey through life, from a child in post war Britain, ambitious teenaged artist in the 60's, wanna-be Script Writer rubbing shoulders with"A List" celebs in the 70's, pub manager in the 80's, business owner in the 90's, and Missionary/church Pastor through the 2000's; to current day co ordinator of a Drop-In Centre for the vulnerable and homeless. Humour is tempered with solemnity, ambition with failure, hopelessness with the miraculous, in this must-read autobiography offering us all hope no matter how deep the pit!
