Commentary To Books Taming the Tiger from the Depths of Hell to the Heights of Glory: The Remarkable True Story of a Kung Fu World Champion
This book used to be one of my favourite Christian biographies as it is such a dramatic story or a life turned around by God. The author claims to have been a Kung-Fu Champion that ended up in prison due to various serious crimes. Later he marries and becomes a Christian only to end up in prison again having accidentally knocked over an old lady whilst he was was driving at night (the lady died.) He believes that this turn of events was somehow God's punishment for mistakenly moving his family to a different ministry in a more well-to-do area. I don't think God works like this. However, he uses the time back in prison to evangelise.I was disappointed to learn that it is believed that most of the authors story was FABRICATED. He has been interviewed regarding this and the answers given in my view were unsatisfactory. There was also a long and drawn out court case after the accident involving the lady and both the author and his wife were investigated for concealing evidence of the accident...this when they were both professing Christians and in ministry!
This type of scandal has done more damage to the Christian church than any good that may have come from his original testimony. His best course of action now would be to admit that he made it up, repent and donate all the money that he has made from his story to Christian work (this book sold millions of copies.) I don't see how realistically he can continue in Christian ministry or certainly not in a leadership role.
Not recommended as it's not true!!

Taming the Tiger is a story of redemption, a story of something (or, in this case, someone) that has been stolen recovered and returned back to its rightful owner.As far as "the formula" goes, it's perfect. Boy has a bad upbringing, becomes a cynical machine hurting others (using the methods of a foreign religion), goes to jail and finds Christ. Well - not to be cynical, but this can be a bit predictable at times. Still, it's definitely one of the most interesting, and not to mention powerful,An almost too unbelievable to believe account of his life which i adored at the time (would have given it a five at the time). Now i am older I realise that it probably isn't true, or is at least blown well out of proportion. The story is great if read as fiction and evangelical element ignored.Pres release today the EA and Avanti have announced that they have investigated the evidence and there is no support for this at all.
This book is easy to read but has a compelling story and gives a window into another part of our world, true life stories are quite powerful.
I started to read this book but recently learned many of the events in the book are either falsehoods or unable to be verified. http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013...http://www.christiantoday.com/article...
