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. (Pam Howell 10:19am June 6, 2014)
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!! (Peggy Roberson 11:31am June 6, 2014)
