Synopsis
Born to Finnish missionaries in Tanzania, Rami Kivisalo showed an unexpected bent toward crime and violence. In his teens he was schooled by a master in the lethal art of "snake kung fu." At twenty he had a booming international drug and arms trade, was allied with a major Russian mafia organization, and was drawing on demonic forces to maintain control.
With a vivid, you-are-there style, this former Russian mob boss delivers a gripping story of how the son of missionary parents became empowered, and then trapped, in the deadly world of demonic possession and international intrigue--until the Lord reached out and saved him.
Full of adrenaline-pumping action, true-life crime, and the unconditional grace of God, The Red Scorpion is an ultimately uplifting reminder of how even the most prodigal of sons is welcomed home.

About the Author
Rami Kivisalo, a former gangster, found Christ in prison. After many temptations, falls, and failures, he left his violent and sinful past and became an evangelist and disciple of Jesus. His memoir, Gangsterin Testamentti, was published in his native Finland in 2008 and quickly became a national bestseller. His story has been covered extensively by Finnish mainstream and Christian media.
Marko Joensuu is a former journalist who has worked for over ten years with the media and publishing ministries of Kensington Temple, a large, multiethnic congregation in London.
From the Back Cover
Rami Kivisalo was fourteen when his parents uprooted the family, moving from Finland to the mission field of Tanzania. Here, amid suffocating heat and dust, Rami became a master of a rare and lethal form of kung fu, tapping into supernatural force that gave him power he had never dreamed of.
Soon Rami found his life - and body - taken over by the darkness. Fueled by a demon inside of him, he soared through international criminal ranks, earning a coveted spot in the Russian mafia's inner circle, and oversaw booming illegal drug and arms trades. Yet the beast inside would not be satisfied. It wanted more. It wanted complete control. From the beautiful shores of Finland to the luxurious, deadly underworld of the Russian mafia to the deepest places of a man's being, a physical and spiritual war raged. It was a fight for his life. It was a war for his soul.And it's a testimony of how even the most prodigal of sons is welcomed home.
