Paper tiger — Tony Anthony
Tony Anthony’s well-known book, Taming
the Tiger, and DVD based on his testimony
were withdrawn from sale in July after factual inaccuracies were found which compromised the integrity of the publication.
A review was held by Authentic Media,
the publisher, and the Evangelical Alliance
was asked to undertake an independent
inquiry. When both stages of the review were
completed, the conclusion was reached, and
released in a statement by Authentic Media,
that ‘sections of the book are not true’. It
emerged that some of the material was
copied from a martial arts website. One passage was lifted from a book about Bruce Lee.
