I AM THE IDIOT IN THIS STORY - JESUS IS THE HERO

[Nederlandse Blog lezers: zorg dat je erbij bent!]
Saturday April 1 - FOOL'S DAY (how appropriate) there will be a press conference @ 10:30 and a public meeting starting @ 13:30 in Hoofddorp NL. Location: MEERKERK IJWEG. You can find a route description here (sorry - it's all in Dutch). This is NOT a joke!

British author TONY ANTHONY - three times World Champion Kung Fu and top bodyguard - will tell the media and the public his incredible story. Tony was raised by his strict grandfather as a Kung Fu fighter in China. He studied the fighting techniques of the tiger and became a master of the martial arts. As a young man he was working as a top bodyguard for the International Kung Fu Federation based in Geneva, Switzerland. He instructed other bodyguards in close protection and man to man combat.

Tony had a difficult upbringing, to put it mildly. It seemed like everything was going much better after he was engaged to a Swedish girl. During an assignment in Italy, Tony hears that his fiancée has died in a car crash. This is too much for him to handle. He starts to use his fighting skills in a wrong way and accepts illegal 'debt collecting' jobs from his VIP clients. Tony becomes a very violent man and a ruthless criminal.

One bad day Tony is arrested and detained in Nicosia's State Prison on the isle of Cyprus. This penal institute is more like a medieval dungeon where 'normal' criminals, political prisoners and violent psychopaths share their crowded cells. This place really is like hell on earth.

Tony is able to defend himself with his martial arts skills, but there is not much left of his self-discipline, Buddhism and high morals. The tiger within has taken full control. Until a stranger starts to visit him day after day, week after week, month after month. Little by little Tony starts to open up...

Read the rest of the story in his bestselling autobiography TAMING THE TIGER - CBC Book of the Year 2005 - and already translated in 14 different languages! Read this book review.

Tony Anthony visits the Netherlands for the presentation of the Dutch translation of his book: GETEMDE TIJGER (published by Ark Boeken).

After the press meeting Tony will talk to the public about the dramatic events and radical changes in his life. He is now working as an evangelist for Avanti Ministries in the UK.

Dutch HIP HOP ARTISTS NOA will also make some noise during this meeting. Be there and bring your friends if you want to see and hear something special!

Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the sinful nature, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful man to be a sin offering. And so he condemned sin in sinful man, in order that the righteous requirements of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the sinful nature but according to the Spirit. [ROMANS 8:1-4]
