Storming Home: Billy's Story
Eric Gaudion, Billy GilvearPaperback 2013-06-21
Publisher Description
Son of a missionary, born in the Congo, Billy endured a strict upbringing before escaping to the Army at 16. Despite the brutality and bullying he survived and did well, being fast-tracked for a commission. He met and married Bev, herself a corporal. Billy soon quit the Army to become a bodyguard to the stars, working with Naomi Campbell, Take That, Bee Gees, Arnold Schwarzeneggar, Mel Gibson and others. Billy had always been a drinker but now the celebrity lifestyle introduced him to drugs - dealing, and running with gangsters. He lost his job. Bev and the children suffered his evil temper, and Bev ultimately divorced him. Billy contemplated suicide, but Christ intervened. A friend reintroduced him to the God he had hated for 30 years. Bev too encountered Christ: the two would be reconciled, remarry, and have two more children. Now a Baptist pastor, prison chaplain and evangelist, Billy sees in others the miracle that has taken place in himself.
