Alive! and Unstoppable: How to Break Free from Dark Shadows (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781504375863)

On a balmy summer evening, Mark Dale Miles headed home after work, unaware that his life was about to be irrevocably changed. That night he was attacked by a group of young men in a brutal home invasion. He was shot in the head at close range and left for dead. For seven days, Mark clung to life trapped in a dark, empty apartment, praying for an intervention. When he was finally rescued and rushed to the hospital, doctors informed him that he had permanent brain damage. He would never be able to work or live independently again.

But Mark was determined to prove that diagnosis wrong. He overcame seemingly insurmountable obstacles to reclaim his life, eventually earning two masters degrees and becoming a substance abuse counselor. On this long road to recovery, Mark developed a system for transformational living, which combines spiritual principles with the tools he learned in substance abuse recovery. The result is a step-by-step guide to becoming unstoppable in life.

According to Mark, the trauma we experience in our darkest times can be used as a catalyst to propel each of us out of an ordinary life into an extraordinary life. The tools that he shares in this book can help us all be transformed and renewed--able to experience our biggest dreams, our highest purpose, and a life that we love.
