Sam Pennington’s life has fallen apart. His father is dead. His mum’s started drinking. And now they’ve been dumped in a dismal public-housing complex in East London. Sam’s anger at his circumstances puts him on the brink of expulsion from school and into dangerous conflict with those around him.

Professional boxing trainer Jerry Ambrose has finally gotten everything together. After a turbulent early life, his newfound faith has helped him reconcile with his past and dedicate his life to helping others.

But when a brutal street fight leads Sam to Jerry’s boxing club, both their futures are thrown into question. As Jerry reaches out to Sam, an extraordinary fighting talent emerges—a talent that reopens the wounds of Jerry’s own life. Both find themselves battling what can happen to a man’s soul when his anger is channeled through his fists.

Despite wowing ringside crowds, Sam’s boxing success fails to bring him peace or happiness, while Jerry’s inner struggles threaten the very core of his beliefs. Can Sam be saved from his rage? Or will Jerry’s reawakened ambition tear them both apart?

Re: The Fight

Sometimes taking a break from a story allow you to take a story from just good to great. Congratulations. Can't wait to read this.

I was going to pass this book contest up, but had this
strange pull to open the page, and see what it was all
about. I must say that I'm glad I did!! First, let me
commend you and your Wife on all the hard charity work that
you did. It takes special people to devote their lives to
that type of work. You made a lot of progress, regardless
of the outcome, and for that you should be proud!! It seems
that your life has come full-circle, regarding the book, and
sometimes God does that for a reason. He works in
mysterious ways. I've found that out so many times in my
own life. Before this ends up turning into a column, I want
to congratulate you on your book, and I will be looking
forward to reading it. I have selfish reasons for reading
your book, but hope that I will have more strength and
resolve when I am finished with it. Congratulations again!!
