About the Author
At the age of 16 Joe entered the financial sector of the City of London and forged a successful career as a Lloyds broker. However, with no direction or purpose in life he became caught up in all the glitzy trappings that can so easily entangle a London worker. After a very scary experience with the occult, Joe came to the realisation that only Jesus Christ can fulfil the void in his life. He put his life in the trust of Jesus and became a born again Christian. He is now competing as a competitive power lifter and travels with us all over the world sharing his faith and the power of Jesus Christ that changed his life. Bio from www.tough-talk.com. Accessed 04.04.14 Martyn Parrish started a life of drug addiction at a very early age. The use of one soft drug led to harder drugs and finally, Martyn was injecting heroin and became a registered drug addict. He was very lonely and began to pray. He found strength to get his life back which he knows came from God. He is now a committed Christian and member of the team. As an enthusiastic powerlifter, he regularly demonstrates the squat at Tough Talk meetings. Bio from www.tough-talk.com.
