While on a roller-coaster drive of self-destruction, Marty Angelo practiced the thrills and pinnacles of happening and the misery and reduction of the pits of personal end. For xv years he locomote a line as a auditory communication company businessperson.

"Once Life Matters: A New Beginning" is his life-changing autobiography. Such distinguished celebrities from the auditory communication commercial enterprise as Jimi Hendrix, George Harrison, John Lennon, Janis Joplin, and Rob Grill all had a component part in Marty's gain to happening as a managing director and advertizer.

Although on the exterior successful, Angelo was penetrating for more, for target. During this fifteen-year excursion he tough the strong grasping of drugs, alcohol, and beat/disco music on his beingness.

In March of 1981 Angelo had reached stone pedestal. It was at this barb that Marty sophisticated a affected and prodigious life-changing shift to Christianity. Since that time, he has get a rugged bystander of God's good grace, mercy, and absolution.

In Marty's own words, "It took me cardinal years, but I in the long run found peace through with Jesus Christ. The decades of the squally duration I led, along with the few modern times when I was immediate to determination the matched path, design an surprising story. I'm not stuck-up of the masses snags I created for myself-the exceptionally witless things I did-but I'm not running from them or annoying to assure them up either. In fact, by unfolding my narrative here, I confidence you, dear reader, can larn the programme I scholarly minus active through the trials and dangers I featured."

Since his transition in 1981, Marty has served monumental roles in full-time priesthood beside Chuck Colson's Prison Fellowship, as a adviser next to Teen Challenge, and as administrator of evangelism and court involvement with the Faith Farm Ministries.

Angelo's calligraphy is engaging, entertaining, informational, and rousing. He ready-made himself vulnerable, exposing his weaknesses as healthy as his strengths. I pleasing the no-holds-barred come up to in relating his story, paired the announcement of his new existence as a benefactor of Christ beside his experiences in the auditory communication industry and symptomless as a coup d'oeil into his duration spell helping instance in the Federal confinement in Lexington, Kentucky.

Marty views this story as a ministry. It is his prayer that readers will locate the fact of God's Word and be intended and incited to issue a stomach for God. This is a wedding album that will situation hearts, propose hope, and I acknowledge it will tweaking lives, which is, I am sure, exactly what Marty well-meant it to do. I feel overconfident that "Once Life Matters" has that type of probable.
