Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following on from Tough Love, Peter Lyndon-James offers a darker, grittier and more detailed insight into his past in his second book, Driven by Pain, Changed by Grace.With the same disarming, plain-spoken honesty, Peter leaves no stone unturned in relating his experiences with drugs, crime, violence, suicide and sexual abuse in a dark narrative that is painful to read, yet impossible to put down.From his early childhood Peter recounts a heart-breaking tale of abandonment, neglect and abuse, dove-tailing into an adolescence dominated by juvenile and criminal institutions that were to forge the broken sense of self that would drive his drug addiction and criminal lifestyle.Using the skills he learned from the juvenile detention and prison system, complemented with the unforgiving lessons of the street, Peter entered adulthood as a volatile, violent man intent on a destructive path that would lead him and his wife Amanda on a nomadic journey across Australia. Barely a step ahead of the law, steeped in dysfunction, Peter's downward spiral seemed unstoppable, even the birth of his children scarcely slowing his appetite for drugs and crime. Despite the dark world Peter inhabited, a seed of hope had been planted in him by Broken Chain Ministry as a young teenager. With occasional glimpses of the divine, it was this seed that would grow, against all odds, into a yearning for something more powerful than the carnage that ruled his life up to that point.A series of inexplicable incidents opened Peter's heart to something that would eventually lead him to become one of Australia's most effective healers of men and families that are broken by life-controlling addiction. As founder and CEO of Australia's largest and strictest rehab, Peter's life has transformed beyond belief, casting him as an unlikely saviour of desperate, damaged people that have been annihilated by drugs and substances.From the darkness comes a dawn. Just as grace has made whole a broken life, Peter's second book reveals the true power of real transformation from the very deepest level and the impact it has on friends, family and strangers alike.
