This is a long shot, but maybe someone knows especially if you are from Germany!
Many years ago I had a small book telling the story of a German rocker who had a violent and drug fueled life
Late in life he came to Christ and wrote this book and it was a wonderful book
I lent it to a Christian friend of mine and never got it back
Ever since then i've been trying to find another copy
All I can remember is it had a single name on the front, something like Otho and maybe had his face on the front or somewhere inside
He was covered in tattoo's
I guess this was a 70's or 80's book as I had it back in the early 90's

If any one of you has ever heard of it or knows any German Christians i'd be very greatful. PS It was in English
A friend of mine's son is facing prison time and this would be the ideal book for them and led me to try again to find it
best regards
Martin

sorry I dont recall any book that exactly fits that description only partly...off top of my head

man covered in tattoos who becomes a christian --- True Red by Bruno Isaac
rocker who becomes a christian --- Brian 'Head' Welch, lead singer of a rock band called Korn
German Christians -- Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Martin Luther
Prisoners who were christians -- Voice of Martyrs by Richard Wurmbrand, Chuck Colson
Violent and drug fueled life -- Run Baby Run by Nicky Cruz, The Wild Side by Janet Balcombe
gospel to drug addicts -- Crack in the Wall by Jackie Pullinger

that book you are looking for would most likely be out of print so either look in second hand christian bookstore or check a church library that has kept all their books from the 70s!

still in print? miracle!
Well usually if we think we've lost anyone you can just ask God He can tell you, since he's one of His.

Sometimes people ask you for books in the library or bookshop, but they dont know the title or the author and just say well it was a blue book....or it was one I liked as a child,...or just 'it was on the radio' and expect you to find it lol
