Author Mark Richard’s latest book has been honored with the Literary Titan Book Award, recognizing the book’s compelling blend of personal testimony, biblical clarity, and pastoral encouragement for readers navigating today’s cultural confusion about identity and God’s design for relationships.
Designed to equip believers to anchor their lives in God’s sacred design, this book offers a Scripture-grounded roadmap for understanding God’s design for identity and relationships, resisting temptation, and walking in purity and grace through Christ. With conviction and compassion, Richard addresses cultural lies, confronts spiritual opposition, and provides practical tools for living in freedom. The book is written for individuals, families, pastors, small groups, and church leaders who want to speak truth in love while extending hope to those in pain.
In a recent author interview, Richard shared that while many readers urged him to publish his full life story, he sensed a clear direction to make Scripture the foundation and his testimony the witness. “Rather than centering the book on my full autobiography,” Richard explained, “I was called to focus on God’s revelation, His design for identity, holiness, and redemption. My story is present, but it serves as a witness, not the foundation. Scripture is the foundation.”
That emphasis on biblical authority is reflected throughout the book, along with the author’s candid journey out of what he describes as deception, confusion, and personal brokenness. Richard points to key passages that shaped his spiritual awakening, including Jesus’ warnings about the heart and holiness, and the gospel hope found in 1 Corinthians 6:9–11. “That verse became deeply personal to me,” he said. “For such was I. And by God’s grace, that is no longer who I am.”
Literary Titan’s review praised the work as “straightforward and deeply personal,” highlighting its sincerity, emotional honesty, and pastoral urgency. The review notes that the book “blends teaching and testimony” and offers readers “clarity” and “practical steps,” adding that Richard’s voice is “pastoral, urgent, and deeply convicted.”
Author Mark Richard’s latest bookis available now on Amazon and Barnes & Noble. Readers, churches, and small groups looking for biblical clarity and compassionate guidance on intimacy and identity are invited to order today and share this resource with those seeking freedom, healing, and hope in Christ.
The booklaunched February 10 as an ebook, with the printed edition releasing February 14 through Redemption Press. The book has also been recognized as a #1 New Release on Amazon.
