From Punk to Pew is not a story of easy belief or gentle redemption. It is the raw, often uncomfortable journey of a Liverpool bouncer turned academic who spent a lifetime convinced that God had no place in a world shaped by violence, poverty, grief, and survival.Raised without privilege and hardened by the doors of nightclubs, courtrooms, and classrooms, faith was something other people leaned on, never something that felt deserved. This is a memoir about resistance: resisting God, resisting softness, resisting the idea of being chosen or worthy.And yet, faith arrives anyway. Found not in perfection but in failure, not in churches but in chaos, From Punk to Pew is an honest account of being pursued by grace when you least want it and least believe you deserve it. For anyone who thinks they're too broken, too angry, or too late, this story says otherwise.

Elizabeth Peatfield was raised in Liverpool in the 1970s, growing up poor and largely illiterate in a city shaped by grit, humour, and survival. She became a nightclub bouncer not out of ambition but necessity, learning early how to stand her ground in a hard world. Academia was never part of the plan, and faith even less so. She did not seek God; she resisted Him. Yet she was found anyway. This book is the story of an illiterate Liverpool bouncer who became an academic and, more unexpectedly still, someone claimed by the grace of God.
