How's It Feel, Tough Guy? Nook

by Mike Palombi

Overview

Mike's biggest regret in life is that there are people who are worse off for knowing him. The girlfriend is who wound up at gunpoint by the Essex County Organized Crime Strike Force because of him is at the top of that particular list. But back in his twenties, being a tough guy was pretty much all he knew about being a man.
How's It Feel, Tough Guy?: From Prisoner of Pride to Prisoner of Hope is Mike's story of sin and redemption. In his memoir, Mike shows how he found heaven in hell, taking Jesus Christ as his Savior while in prison, and then being drawn away subtly by the cares of the world.
At a Christmas Eve church service -- under the influence -- Mike received Christ back into his heart for good. His relationship with God inspired him to address a lifetime of injury and transform how he viewed himself as a man. Meanwhile, he has given back by working with at-risk teenagers in schools and through the Lifer's program at East Jersey State Prison. Finally, he learned what it really means to be a good husband, a good father, and a good man. NOW, there are people who are truly better off for knowing him.

About the Author

After hearing my story of redemption and restoration through decades of getting smacked upside my head-both literally and figuratively, most people decided, “You should write a book, Mike!” But all I had ever done about writing a book is stand in defense against why I couldn’t write a book. To me, writing a book was just another opportunity to fail.
If I haven’t learned anything else on my journey of change, I’ve learned that the greatest enemy of accomplishment is the fear of failure. Writing this book had become a challenge to set aside my fear and do what others had encouraged me to do despite the fact that I was not anxious to do it.
The task of writing a memoir required me to operate far outside of my comfort zone and in what I call, “the uncomfortable zone” of transparency and vulnerability. That leap of faith triggered a personal examination of my life, so thorough, and so complete, that it brought healing and restoration to my life. That leap of faith is the means by which I have become an author!
