Description
Christopher Power introduces a story of the journey from street to stage. This inspiring book, which is especially topical in today's climate of teenage violence, is an encouragement to those who feel trapped by circumstances and who want to break free. In telling his story, Christopher demonstrates to the reader that we all have the power within us to change our lives too. "Breaking Free" opens with a sensational murder and Christopher continues to describe this explicitly and graphically, as well as the sexual abuse, drug abuse, theft, gambling, alcohol and teenage gang warfare. He talks openly about his rebellious teenage years, which ended in a prison sentence. His delicious sense of humour sustained him through the worst, and the dangerous journey leads from crime and hopelessness to his joy today as a Christian and actor. This is a moving and inspiring story that illustrates how anyone, from whatever background, can pursue their dream and find fulfilment.

An inspiring and uplifting story Susan Beresford, Actor and Voice Coach An engaging story! Chris Gidney, Director and Founder of Christians in Entertainment "It shows that it doesn't matter where you start from there is a mighty God who is able to redeem anybody who is willing to turn to Him." Fred Denno, ActorFrom a very difficult and traumatic background and following a very Damascus Road and Christian Conversion, it has been a particular delight and encouragement for me to see how Christopher has grown and matured from the shy, insecure person he was to the giant he is today .Not only is he a Christian of whom I am sure God is proud but he is a talented actor.
