The Winner of a Fall 2023 BookFest Personal Memoir Honorable Mention!
Get Your Greater is a powerful memoir of personal transformation, self-healing, and faith. Mark Shepard shares his raw and real journey from trauma to triumph, recounting his experiences of losing his mother in a horrific act of violence before the age of 10, enduring mistreatment by family, suffering physical and sexual abuse in foster care, and struggling with poverty and homelessness while raising his young sons.
Despite these overwhelming challenges, Mark's Christian faith and inner strength helped him rise from a bed of metal bars to a life filled with love, gratitude, and purpose. His autobiography sheds light on the resilience required to overcome trauma, abandonment, and cruelty, while offering a blueprint for personal growth and self-esteem.
Mark's story of survival is a testament to the power of faith, psychological resilience, and unwavering ambition. As he reflects on the movement of God in his life-sometimes slow, but always steady-he encourages readers to embrace their own personal growth and transformation. Get Your Greater is an inspiring call to never give up, to be patient, steadfast, and resilient, and to trust that, no matter the trials of life, a greater purpose is always within reach.
