Feb 8, 2024 - Author Brian Morris, in collaboration with Martin Sanders as a contributor, unveils an extraordinary and deeply personal memoir, "Chased by the Dragon, Caught by the Lamb ." This compelling book delves into the remarkable life journey of Brian Morris, offering an unfiltered account of his descent into drug addiction, subsequent incarceration, and ultimate transformation through faith.
In this fast-paced and, at times, unsettling memoir, Morris fearlessly shares the highs and lows of his life. From a disadvantaged upbringing in impoverished circumstances to his first encounter with drugs at 16, the narrative delves into his harrowing descent into drug dealing by the tender age of 19.
"Chased by the Dragon, Caught by the Lamb" doesn't shy away from the stark realities faced by Morris and other prisoners who sought to embrace their Christian faith amidst the harsh and hostile prison environment. The book candidly depicts the challenges, temptations, and setbacks they encountered while striving to live out their beliefs.
However, at its core, this memoir is a testament to the power of redemption and second chances. Against all odds, Morris manages to turn his life around and finds solace in his Christian conversion. As he emerges from the grips of addiction and prison, he channels his experiences towards a greater purpose: helping others overcome the horrors of drug addiction and discovering new life through faith in Jesus.
While "Chased by the Dragon, Caught by the Lamb" deals with deeply serious and often distressing subject matter, Morris injects the narrative with a wry sense of humor that uplifts and engages readers throughout.
This memoir serves as an unfiltered glimpse into the dark world of addiction, the resilience of the human spirit, and the transformative power of faith. It will leave readers moved, inspired, and with a renewed sense of hope.
"Chased by the Dragon, Caught by the Lamb " is available now in major bookstores and online retailers.

This fast moving and sometimes disturbing book starts at the point where Brian is about to be arrested for smuggling a kilogram of cocaine into the country in 1995 worth a police estimate of one and a half million pounds, earning him a prison sentence of 12 years.
The book continues by telling how he arrived at that point – his disadvantaged life, growing up in Wales in impoverished circumstances with a number of brothers and sisters, all with the same mother but several different fathers.
He tells of his first experience with drugs at the tender age of 16, and how by the time he was 19 he had met a Dutch girl and moved to Holland.
The book continues to chart his descent into drugs and drug dealing, and how after his break-up with the Dutch girl, he decides to go to Sri Lanka to start a new life, only to get involved in drug smuggling between Sri Lanka and India, whilst living with a poor fisherman and his family who showed him great kindness.
He describes life as a dealer and the many smuggling trips to and from different countries, before he was finally arrested in Swansea, the point at which the book starts.
The rest of the book deals with his Christian conversion, and the difficulties experienced by him and other prisoners who tried to live out their Christian lives in a harsh and hostile prison environment, and how, in spite of the pressures temptations and setbacks, including seeing fellow believers take their own lives whilst in prison or very shortly after release, because of good behavior his prison term is vastly reduced, and he is finally released.
He starts to train to help others overcome the horror which drug involvement brings into a persons life, showing them how they can receive new life in Jesus.
Although the book deals with very real and sometimes harrowing situations it is not without a wry humour.
The book will appeal to all those who have ever wondered what life is really like in some of Britain’s best known high security jails, those who have loved ones who are still dependent on drugs, those who want to better understand why people are attracted to drugs in the first place, and those who enjoy a good story, well told, with all the emotional highs and lows that one would expect from such a tale.
