ABOUT BARRY WOODWARD
After being dependent on heroin for fifteen years and spending a number of terms in prison, Barry Woodward had a religious experience, which resulted in his life being totally transformed. This led to him becoming a national public speaker and the author of ‘Once an Addict.’ Barry is a contemporary communicator, who is humourous, passionate and inspirational. Barry is an associate evangelist with J.John.
