FBI & An Ordinary Guy, -The Private Price of Public Service - is a memoir about the many chilling, sometimes comical, events in a career as an FBI agent and the personal price some of us paid. For me, coming from a rough childhood I confronted the choices of becoming a clergyman, crook or cop. As an FBI agent in New York and other large American cities, we faced outlaw motorcycle gangs, the Mafia, drug kingpins, and terrorists; land pirates. I personally had many successes, but hard-won victories eventually sapped my energy and spirit. Along the way I had to come to grips with the murders of a squad partner, two New York City cops and several government witnesses. The public knows little about the stress and high emotional costs the guardians of their safety pay in the constant battle against crime and terror. The favorite antidotes of many law enforcement peers -crawling into a bottle or the wrong bed-proved to provide little long-lasting comfort. FBI & An Ordinary Guy reveals the inner working of the FBI, the humanness of its family members, and the real life story behind some of its major cases. But, this factual account is told through a genuine framework of the bitter sweet contrast of the gritty horrors of law enforcement versus affectionate father to daughter communication via never mailed letters to my children.

Autorenporträt
From a very young age, Mark Johnston grew up around pubs, parties, drunks, drug addicts and criminals. He was a victim of physical, sexual, mental and emotional abuse. By the age of 19 Mark had attempted suicide numerous times and was put into seven drug-induced comas, self mutilated, planned on murdering other people, and was an extremely violent individual that detested life. Knocking at death's door, ready at any time to go in, Mark encountered Christ in 2011. This encounter was set to change his life. He entered The Transformations discipleship program on the Gold Coast of Australia, which really turned his life around. He completed the program in a little over a year, becoming a staff member of the program in south-east Queensland, where he helped pioneer a new campus. The author has a deep passion for discipleship, mentoring and recovery and has been sober and clean from drugs since. He has a diploma in ministry and is currently undertaking a diploma in drug and alcohol counselling. He has had the privilege of preaching his testimony in churches, prisons and schools, as well as at crusades. Marked by Mercy is a book that will leave you knowing that, no matter how bad your situation may be, there is hope.
