The Bullet and the Bible: Investigative Journalism Student and Bible Scholar Melody Grandy-Wolfe Unveils the Miraculous Survival of a Halifax Kingpin
The True Story of Anthony "Ace" David - a former criminal mastermind who was shot in the head, pronounced dead on arrival by medical professionals, and encountered the Risen Lord
Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada -- Eighteen years ago, medical professionals pronounced Anthony "Ace" David dead on arrival. Today, he walks the streets of Nova Scotia with a jagged piece of lead forever cradled in his skull—a silent witness to a transition from a criminal empire to the Kingdom of God.
In her gripping new book, The Bullet and the Bible: The Redemption of Anthony "Ace" David, author and investigative journalism student Melody Grandy-Wolfe (Founder of Kingdom News Global) provides a raw, documented look at a man the neurosurgeons call a "medical anomaly" and the Church calls a "walking miracle."
The narrative follows the explosive rise and literal fall of "Ace," a name once feared in the Halifax underworld. A mastermind who lived by the "violent arithmetic" of power and firearms, Ace’s life was abruptly "silenced" by a retaliatory bullet to the head in the early 2000s.
While monitors went flat in the hospital, Ace claims he was elsewhere—experiencing a face-to-face encounter with the Risen Savior in a "warm silence" that defied logic and demanded a total surrender of his old life.
"Ace David didn’t just survive an assassination attempt; he was traded," says Grandy-Wolfe. "One life of darkness was exchanged for a life of Light. As a journalist, I approached this not just as a friend, but as an investigator. The X-rays don't lie, and neither does the transformation of his character."
Grandy-Wolfe, known for her deep-dive scholarship in works such as Investigating the Gospel Accounts of the Christ, met David by chance in Sackville. What began as a conversation between strangers evolved into a profound friendship and a rigorous investigation into David’s past and his miraculous present.
Key themes of the book include:
The Physics of a Miracle: A look at the medical documentation of a bullet remaining in the skull for nearly two decades.
From Kingpin to Kingdom: The psychological and spiritual journey of a man abandoning the "law of the fist" for the way of the Nazarene.
The Investigative Lens: How Grandy-Wolfe’s background in journalism and biblical history validates a modern-day testimony of the Cross.
The Bullet and the Bible is more than a memoir; it is a sobering call to action for a violent generation, proving that no one is beyond the reach of redemption.

She is currently pursuing a path in Radio and Television Journalism at NSCC to further her mission of bringing "Truth and Integrity" to global faith-based news through her platform, Kingdom News Global (KNG).
