One step beyondOne man's journey from near death to new lifeOutsider?ONE STEP BEYOND This easy-to-read book recounts the tragic story of a no-hoper whose life was transformed by the power of God, leaving him with an insatiable passion to share his faith with other no-hopers. Gram Seed tells his story of growing up in Middlesbrough. Regarded by all as a teenage scumbag with a promising career in ‘doing time’, his days became filled with theft and violence before drugs and alcohol finally got the better of him. One Step Beyond shows what can happen when a group of young people from a local church take evangelism seriously! Here is yet another story of God’s amazing grace — but the story goes on! Just over a year ago, a Christian charity called Sowing Seeds Ministries was set up to bring the love of Christ to prisoners and ex-offenders and to offer support to their families. This transformed hardened criminal, who spent so many years wanting to get out of jail, now spends all his time wanting to get back in! This is no theological textbook but might be just the book you’re looking for to pass on to someone grappling with similar issues. Kath Paterson,
