By David La Mar, Catholic Exchange - John Pridmore was a gangster, working in organized crime on the mean streets of London in the 1980s. He lived a life of drug deals, theft, and violence. He had a penthouse apartment, sports cars, money and power. But he knew something was missing. There was no peace in his heart... Baptized Catholic, he drifted away from the faith. Despite having everything anyone could want in life, he felt empty. He knew he had to affect a change of heart in order to find that peace he so deeply desired. Even though he didn’t know it at the time, he was looking for Jesus.
