  • Driven by Pain, Changed by Grace

    Peter Lyndon-James

    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 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.

    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 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 the odds, into a yearning for something more potent 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 most extensive 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 the 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.

  • Tough Love: Tackling Drug Addiction and Seeing Change

    Peter Lyndon-James

    In our community and nation, we have an epidemic on our hands. We have a unique drug on the streets now, that's destroying families at a rate like no drug has ever done before. Meth (Ice) not only binds a person up in addiction, but it changes them the way they speak, the way they act and the way they treat those around them. Peter Lyndon James helps people break free from life controlling issues, such as meth and other drugs, bringing them to the point where they want to change and make the…

    In our community and nation, we have an epidemic on our hands. We have a unique drug on the streets now, that's destroying families at a rate like no drug has ever done before. Meth (Ice) not only binds a person up in addiction, but it changes them the way they speak, the way they act and the way they treat those around them. Peter Lyndon James helps people break free from life controlling issues, such as meth and other drugs, bringing them to the point where they want to change and make the decision to turn their life around so badly, that they will finally stop taking drugs. Tough Love is designed to equip you and your family on how to successfully handle a person on drugs. While primarily focused on meth, the principles in Tough Love apply across the board for all forms of addiction, helping you on what to do and how to handle the challenges ahead.
