Mario Facione grew up in Detroit's Italian underworld, mastering scams in heavy-equipment theft and black-market dealing while keeping a low profile. Then two young Mormon missionaries knocked on his door. Touched by the Book of Mormon, he faced an impossible choice: his lucrative criminal life or his newfound faith. Told he couldn't serve two masters, Mario chose to walk away from the mob—an act that could cost him his life. This gripping first-person conversion memoir traces his dangerous escape and spiritual rebirth. A real mafia insider walks away from the mob—and survives—because of the Book of Mormon. The perfect book for the man who says he doesn't read: gripping, short, and true. 'You don't just walk away from the mob'—but he did, to keep his faith. A near-illiterate criminal learns to read through the Book of Mormon and finds God. ““But you don’t understand, they’ll kill me,” Facione responded. “You don’t just walk away from the mob.””Perfect for an adult Latter-day Saint who loves dramatic real-life conversion stories and enjoys sharing faith-promoting books with friends and less-active family.
