  • Through the Fire To Be On Fire

    Marcus Rogers cli

    Paperback (Christian Faith Publishing, Inc., Nov. 9, 2017)
    There is not much that I can't relate to in this life. I have been through abuse, divorce, betrayal, financial difficulties, military deployments, being fired, heartbreaks, death, suicidal thoughts, insecurity, anxiety, and temptations I have overcome and those I have failed. God has allowed me to be thrown into the fires of life several times.I never understood why when I was younger. I always felt that God hated me, or He was punishing me, or that I was less than other people. It wasn't until I broke free from going through religious motions and entering into a relationship with Jesus that I started to understand why I had to go through the fires I went through in this life. There is a reason you are going through the things you are going through. You are not just incurring pain for no reason. There is a story being written, there is a testimony being formed, and the difference between success or failure is learning how to get comfortable inside the fire. You must learn how to survive the fires of life. The only way to do this is by having the proper mind-set. Being victorious in the fire is a choice!

  • Red Thread

    Mark Rogers

    eBook (Endeavour Media, Oct. 4, 2016)
    It is a sweltering summer morning in New Jersey and an appalling sight awaits Ben O’Shaughnessy…When he arrives in ‘The Embroidery Capital of the World’ to drop the roughs off for some new products, he soon finds the body of a young sketcher, her slender form tilted sideways, her hands balled up into fists. And that’s not all - her mouth is crudely stitched shut with red embroidery thread.Ben, who also writes a gossip column as ‘Mr Knowbody’ for the Jersey Journal, is shocked and pained. But nobody appears to want to find out who murdered Nikki and why – no one except him that is.Though the embroidery business paid the rent, Ben’s secret life as Mr Knowbody kept him sane. Could Mr Knowbody unknot the thread?He certainly has more than a passing acquaintance with the seedy underbelly of glamour capitals like New York and his is a world where everyone is fighting to keep their head above water. It is a world of ultimate human exploitation, where the trappings of civilised life – local politicians, businessmen, law enforcement, the Church – are exposed as merely skin deep when Mr Knowbody starts poking his unwanted nose in. And when Nikki’s mother Hazel doesn’t seem to react when she learns of her daughter’s death, Mr Knowbody can’t help wondering…what secret could she be hiding?Red Thread is a riveting read, peppered with the humour and satisfyingly taut structure of Ernest Hemingway.Praise for previous novels by Mark Rogers "Mark Rogers knows that the stylish, polished picture frame in which we live is riddled with holes, in which worms live." - James Sallis, author of Drive“Koreatown Blues is a cleverly-plotted hard-boiled novel with crisp, muscular prose, a feverish pace, a vividly-drawn urban setting, and characters so real that Rudy Giuliani would stop and frisk them.” - Edgar award-winning author Bruce DeSilva"Koreatown Blues is an entertaining, fast-paced first novel, with an unexpected, up-to-date solution.” - Publishers Weekly“Mark Rogers' masterfully noirish Night within Night, a story of betrayal, sex, lies and finding love in all the wrong places—and paying for it, big time, is totally captivating, relentlessly told at breakneck pace." - Sam Millar, author of On The BrinksMark Rogers is a writer and artist whose literary heroes include Charles Bukowski, Willie Vlautin and Charles Portis.
