Sid
In this life changing story, Sid talks of a life once filled with anger and resentment, which has now been transformed by the love of God…
11 years ago I was a very different person to the one I am today. I had a childhood filled with rejection and was angry and on the run from God in every area of my life.
I’m a printer by trade and had a colleague called Neil, who was a Christian. I didn’t take him seriously and used to ridicule him for his faith. I probably drove him mad some days. However, when I was involved in a serious car accident, in which a friend was killed, Neil offered to pray for me. For a while, I felt more peaceful but soon, I was back to living my life the way I had always done; on the run from God and my deepest feelings.
Not long after, trying to start over, I took a job in Kuwait and my family and I moved there. We returned to the UK after a year and in time, I caught up with Neil, who was now running his own printing firm. His company had started printing a new booklet called The Word for Today and he asked if I would deliver it to the UCB offices which were on the way to my new job, and I agreed. I eventually went to work for Neil full time, so there I was, not a Christian, but printing and delivering thousands of Christian booklets, which I would occasionally glance through. I didn’t always understand them, but I thought the booklets were interesting.
One night, I was working late and listening to a music CD Neil had given me, which had a musical version of Psalm 23. As I listened, I just broke down, raised my arms to God and promised I would never run from Him again.
Since then the Lord has taken me, an angry young man, and turned my life around. I’ve always been a keen biker and am now the Northwest Chairman of the Christian Motorcyclists Association, writing and producing all their tracts. We also do prison work, although the first time I went into a prison, armed with my Bible and The Word for Today, I was terrified and convinced the prisoners would all laugh at me. I prayed a desperate prayer for help and felt the Lord tell me to look at The Word for Today reading. There were the words I needed to read, ‘Be prepared to be ridiculed by many, so that you can receive my blessing.’ Wow!
Through this and many other opportunities, God has blessed me and used me to witness in many towns and even in other countries. I could fill a book with all He’s done for me and my family. My life was changed the day God stepped in.

Excerpt
The giant you are fighting today is not bigger than the God who is living within you. Failing does not make you a failure...quitting does...not seeing beyond it does...not learning from it does...not growing stronger because of it does. You’re not unique, and you’re not alone – we all struggle on some level. Satan attacked Jesus three times in the wilderness, why? To keep Him from fulfilling His Father’s will on earth. But Jesus overcame satan using the weapons of prayer and the Word of God. You can too. So come on, learn to stand up in the power of God’s might and conquer the giant you’re facing. The stories on these pages are examples of people who have been struggling with their own giants in life, have found God, and with His help, have been given the strength and courage to keep going...and their lives have been changed in ways they could never have imagined...
