"God broke into my world. My life was shaken and transformed instantly." These words began the journey of transformation that took Mark Stevens (known for his role as Nick Page in TV's Neighbours, and as a worship leader at Hillsong Church and Life Church Bradford) out of a life bound by drug and alcohol addiction and into a new adventure of ministry and leadership that has touched all corners of the globe. Mark shares candidly his testimony of the excitement and temptation of celebrity fame and lifestyle, the devastatingly destructive effects of addiction, and the overwhelming and transforming power of God's healing and presence. He goes on to share from the many experiences and challenges of worship ministry and church leadership over the past fifteen years. Strength for the Road is Mark Stevens' first book, written to awaken and stir up the worshipper in each of us, to rise up and embrace the journey ahead of us with faith and boldness. Each of our journeys are different, but the truth of God's word and His love remains eternal and everlasting, giving each of us the strength we need - and more - to walk the road God has laid out before us.

Everything You Learned About Selling Is A Lie Myths. Lies. Nonsense. Cliches. All of these negatives are woven through what passes for sales training/coaching/instruction. Why? Because all too often, the coaches, trainers and professors who "teach" sales training have never really sold anything except their sales training "systems." It's all bunk. Think of the greatest salespeople we've watched at work: -Steve Jobs -Mark Zuckerberg -Jeff Bezos -Joel Osteen -Oprah Winfrey What binds these disparate people? These extraordinary successes? None had sales training, per se, and equally important, all knew that they could call on a higher force at work in the world to achieve their goals. It's that higher force that the author identified at a young age. And starting from poverty in a broken family, he used it to become a legendary salesperson, lifelong entrepreneur and multimillionaire. His epiphany, his personal story, his rise and the lessons he shares with you, are revealed in this book.
