Rivers Baptist Church - Christ alone - and Him crucified

There are many books in the Biography section of our library. Many in our congregation have read a recently shelved autobiographical book titled Taming the Tiger by Tony Anthony. I feel the back cover gives a very appropriate summary of the nature of the book’s content and inspires one to consider borrowing it:

Tony Anthony knew no fear. Three-times world Kung Fu champion, he was self-assured, powerful and at the pinnacle of his art. An extraordinary career awaited him. Working in the higher echelons of close protection security, he travelled the globe, guarding some of the world’s wealthiest, most powerful and influential people.

This fast-paced, compelling and, at times, chilling account is Tony’s deeply moving true story. More extraordinary than fantasy, more remarkable than fiction, this blockbusting read almost defies belief. With fascinating insight into China’s martial arts, and the knife-edge adrenaline highs of the bodyguard lifestyle, it documents the personal tragedy that turned a ‘disciple of enlightenment’ into a bloodthirsty, violent man. From the depths of hell in Cyprus’s notorious Nicosia Central Prison, all might have been lost, but for the visits of a stranger.
