During the last few years we have sponsored John Pridmore – co-author of his autobiography “From Gangland to Promised Land” which has sold over 50,000 copies since publication. John is an ex-gangster who used to be one of the notorious faces in the east end of London.
His
powerful story, endorsed by the Eastenders actress Michelle Collins as
well as Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O’Connor, recounts his fall from
broken home into the dark abyss of the criminal world to his rise when
he became aware of the love and mercy of God. John is now a popular
speaker in prisons, schools and parishes were his testimony never fails
to move even the most hardened heart. Here are some quotes from people
who have heard his talk.
‘A very valuable experience which will be remembered for
a long time. The students really connected with his story – he
made God relevant and real.’
St Hildas High, January 2006
"John is one of the most inspirational guest speakers we have had. The
feedback from students is always positive, and his message of personal
change and faith in God leaves a lasting impression on the listener. His
annual visit to the College is a highlight of our Religious Education
programme."
Assistant Principal, St Dominics, March 2006
