Coming from a broken home, he was in and out of prisons from the age of nine, and addicted to drugs for 26 years. In 2002, this one-time career criminal left jail for the last time, studied theology and spent five years as a volunteer chaplain at Acacia Prison. In 2012, he opened Shalom House in Perth's Swan Valley. Peter's 100 percent self-funded program helps men, women and families struggling with addictions and any life-controlling issue. Peter works intensively with program residents to help them face their demons, identify past failures and establish future goals. His system is working, and today he leads a team of up to 100 staff and volunteers. Peter has been married to Amanda for 27 years and has three children and eight grandchildren. www.toughlovebook.com.au and www.shalomhouse.com.auview less
