All the elements of the greatest adventure except this one's true!" -- Revd Anthony Delaney, Leader Ivy Church, Manchester "I have seen first-hand just what an incredible impact Billy's testimony has in the prisons and tough communities where we live. I can't wait now to see this amazing story get the wider audience it deserves." -- Andy Hawthorne OBE, CEO of The Message Trust "From soldier to officer, drug pusher to attempted suicide victim, Billy is an ordinary man who has lived an extraordinary life. No matter how hopeless a situation may appear, his testimony is that there is always hope.
