Once an Addict
The Fascinating True Story of One Man's Escape From the Murky Drugs Underworld
Barry Woodward's Autobiography (Authentic Media)
'Once an Addict' takes you to the heart of a world of drugs and addiction but fortunately does not leave you there. Through the many twists and turns of Barry's life this "can't put down" book will have you shocked, surprised but ultimately relieved that there is hope even in the most despairing of circumstances.' (J.John - Philo Trust)
Barry Woodward was a drug dealer and heroin addict who once lived on the notorious Bull Rings in the centre of Manchester.
This book, published by Authentic Media, describes Barry's descent into the murky underworld of drug dealing, addiction, crime and imprisonment, and gives first hand insights into the city's nightlife and music scene. Along the way you are introduced to some of the most extraordinary characters, and we see the extreme lengths to which some of them will go to get their next 'fix'.
Illegal drug use claimed the lives of many such people, and it seemed inevitable that Barry would also succumb to the drastic consequences of his addiction.
With devastating amphetamine-induced mental health issues, a fourteen-year heroin addiction, a string of broken relationships, and the threat of HIV looming, the outlook for Barry appeared very bleak. Then three extraordinary encounters changed his life forever ...
This book is refreshingly, but hauntingly honest. This book is not for the faint hearted.
Barry is now the Founder and Director of Proclaim Trust and an associate evangelist with J.John of the Philo Trust. Barry is committed to the relevant communication of the Christian faith and to equipping Christians to engage in the work of evangelism.
If you would like to purchase this book you can buy it direct from all good Christian bookshops. Alternatively, order direct from Proclaim Trust by going to www.proclaimtrust.org*

Interview with Gary Clarke
A relevant church – to win a hurting world
Gary Clarke, senior pastor of Hillsong Church London, was one of the most eagerly anticipated speakers at this year’s be:one conference. A born thinker and team strategist he has harnessed his God-given gifting as a culture-creator to build a strong, vibrant, 21st century church in the heart of our capital city. The Hillsong London congregation – renowned for its contemporary worship music – is currently meeting in the Dominion Theatre in London’s West End, with plants in Leatherhead (Surrey) and Paris.
