I took a few days out of my Bible reading project to read a book that was recommended to me. It is the autobiography of Tony Anthony, a three time world Champion Kung Fu martial arts fighter. I was hooked from the first page. When he was only four, his Chinese grandfather took him from his parents in London, England, to China, to learn the martial arts, a family tradition. His training and traditional upbringing is both fascinating and frightening. He was unbeatable and never lost a fight or competition, and eventually he used his skills for nefarious purposes. How his life eventually takes a turn for the worse, and then is redeemed, is the thrust of this book.
If you ever thought your life was mundane, dull, ordinary, lacklustre, boring or unexciting, you will feel tens time that after reading of this young man's life. Put all the action together, of all the violent movies you have seen in the last few years, into one package and that is Tony's life. What makes the book so absolutely fascinating is that it is true. How he survived and what he is doing today is a miracle, plain and simple. I highly recommend this book, and suggest you read it before it becomes a movie in the next year or two.
Rating: 5 star
