Tough Talk returns with more gritty stories of transformed lives

The Tough Talk team are one of the best known evangelistic teams in the UK today and in Tough Talk 2 (ISBN 9781860247002, price £7.99) three new members of the team, Joe Lampshire, Martyn Parrish and Simon Pinchbeck, share their gritty stories.

Joe lived in fear as a result of his obsession with the occult. Martyn was a heroin addict, tired with life. Simon was an old-style copper, not averse to landing a few punches on law-breakers; on leaving the force his greed led him to associate with criminals. Tough Talk 2 tells the stories of three very different men who had lost their way in life but were able to make a new start having discovered for themselves a relationship with the living God.

Professor Michael Steward writes in his foreword, "Each life has been dramatically changed from one that was spiralling out of control because of a number of factors including drugs, alcohol, selfishness, greed and violence, to a life that has peace, hope, purpose and direction. The message behind these stories is that anyone, irrespective of their background and past mistakes, can have a totally new start in their life."

The Tough Talk team make over 250 appearances each year in churches, prisons and schools, as well as outdoor events, the team share their stories of salvation using powerlifting as a unique backdrop.
