Product Description
This fastpaced, compelling, and chilling account is the deeply moving story of a threetime Kung Fu World Champion. With fascinating insight into the traditions of China's martial arts, it documents the abusive upbringing that turned a fouryear old child into a hardened, professional killer.
From China to Europe and across the Mediterranean, we follow Tony as he becomes an elite bodyguard, protecting some of the world's most powerful people. Following personal tragedy, Tony's extreme discipline and the philosophy of his art is quickly turned. He begins to use his skills for illegal means and highly destructive, bloodthirsty pleasure.
Eventually incarcerated in Cyprus, Tony hits rock bottom. Through the visits of a stranger, he is introduced to the reality and lifechanging power of Jesus Christ. Though the prison walls hold him, he finds himself a free man. This is just the beginning of a complex and fascinating testimony.

 Action, Suspense, Hope... June 20, 2006

"Taming the Tiger" is an incredible biography of a very interesting man, Tony Anthony. As you begin reading this book, you won't want to put it down. Right from the start, Tony captivates you with a suspenseful situation that leads the reader into exciting episodes of heart pounding action. Tony's ability to provide the reader with visual imagery is second to none, placing the reader there with him during his amazing account of his life events. Worthy of being made into a Hollywood action movie, Tony's life story will leave you in awe.
"Taming the Tiger" is a very enjoyable read from start to finish, and worth every penny. I would encourage you to do yourself a favor and purchase this book. It will not only entertain you, it will empower you with optimism for the future.

This really is an amazing account of an extraordinary life. Its not 'preachy', it just tells how Tony Anthony went from Kung Fu champion, to international bodyguard, to being an inmate in prison in Cyprus, to becoming a Christian and having his entire life transformed.
And its not one of those 'happy ending/everyone goes off into the sunset' books either. We see him in his life as a Christian and the battles he faces - especially in jail.
Whether you're a Christian or not this is an amazing book and well worth reading.

I am a Christian and I usually do not read Christian books as to be honest they aren't my cup of tea! Also, I don't read that many books and when I do they take me months! This book I read in 4 days, during lunchtimes in work! If you are a Christian it will astound and amaze you how God can change and improve people's lives, especially people you think can never change. If you aren't a Christian at the very least it's an incredible read, and hopefully you'll find much more within it too.
Enjoy!

This book has totally changed my life when i started reading it i couldnt put it down. Tony's journey to find god was awsome and he has helped me find god too. Me and tony are alike (except kung fu) so when i finished the book i got intouch with him and he gave my great advice and i told him how much i loved his book it really touched me in a powerfull way. I became a christain in October 2005 and i got baptised 21st of May 2006. God is awsome and he found me using Taming Of The Tiger. Thank's Tony :)
