How's It Feel, Tough Guy? are the audible words God spoke to Mike in his prison cell. How he would respond to that question was a matter of life and death. In this memoir, Mike goes in-depth into the root issues and causes of addiction and destructive behaviors. He addresses strongholds laid in his childhood, and shows how the power of Christ saved, delivered and released him to become the man God always intended him to be. You don't have to have been incarcerated to be changed by this book. He speaks about the unhealthy relationships, domestic violence, fatherhood, marriage and how God redeemed it all for His glory. From a 7 year old boy to a 93 year old woman and everyone in between, they have all found themselves somewhere in the pages of this book.
