Books with author Anthony Marks

I spent years trying to come to terms with the events of my past. I struggled with unforgiveness, bitterness and resentment (and that was just to myself).Over thirty years of imprisonment and held captive to vices and bad choices that I have made. I started solvent abuse at the age of fourteen, moving on to cannabis and progressing to heroin; not to mention the copious amounts of alcohol that consumed me, my relationships and my life.Alone in a prison cell, waiting to be sentenced for 'Intent to Supply Class A drugs, I realised that I had enough of what I'd become and where I was heading. So, I sought divine guidance for the direction of my life and I found freedom.

The gavel hit the block and his mind went silent. Mark´s soul folded up small: once, twice, and once more. Until his senses were withdrawn from the reality and the numbness in his head made a dream-time of the external world. His mother´s cries echoing in the courtroom. But it couldn’t be real, could it? A violent thrust and he fell into a cage. A heavy door closing behind. The sound of the starting engine. Bang! The gavel against the block now was no more than a resonance in his head. He lost the game. It was over. From mindless delinquent to mindful hypnotist, Mark Anthony´s story take us from the criminal world of Southeast London, through many trials and tribulations to a successful career as one of Australia’s most sought after Hypnotists. A roller-coaster of family violence, children’s home, expelled and suspended from schools, child abuse, drugs, crime and loss of freedom in the form of time behind bars; cancer, bankrupt, divorce and false accusations, brother of a murderer, and the power of a man´s mind driving his way out to a brighter life of love and success. Mark´s incredible story goes beyond anything told before: a real emerging phoenix. Fatherless, poor, beaten, abused, arrested, belted, threatened, on the verge of death…Mark´s childhood and adolescence elapsed like the worst of nightmares. The brother of a murderer, he lost four friends to heroin and was employed by an underworld figure. Treated like scum but trusting there was a way out, it was when the game seemed lost, behind bars, that Mark decided to change his life. It was an arduous path, rich in disappointments and great mistakes, albeit Mark´s life tells us that nothing is fatal and never everything is lost. An inspirational but raw story showing us that, no matter where we are at, there is always a way up if we put our mind to it, “It’s all about the choices we make”.
