Breaking Free

Christopher Power introduces a story of the journey from street to stage. This inspiring book, which is especially topical in today’s climate of teenage violence, is an encouragement to those who feel trapped by circumstances and who want to break free. In telling his story, Christopher demonstrates to the reader that we all have the power within us to change our lives too. Breaking Free opens with a sensational murder and Christopher continues to describe this explicitly and graphically, as well as the sexual abuse, drug abuse, theft, gambling, alcohol and teenage gang warfare. He talks openly about his rebellious teenage years, which ended in a prison sentence. His delicious sense of humour sustained him through the worst, and the dangerous journey leads from crime and hopelessness to his joy today as a Christian and actor. This is a moving and inspiring story that illustrates how anyone, from whatever background, can pursue their dream and find fulfilment.
