BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Oct. 13 /Christian Newswire/ -- Passionate booklovers and avid readers of distinctive life stories are in for another inspiring read as author Floyd Perry releases through Xlibris Mark Whitacre Against All Odds, a remarkable biography that takes you into the cavernous spaces of Whitacre's mind and brings alive the universal condition of the human heart in conflict with itself--but from the executive suite.

In this touching story about the highest-level whistleblower of all time, Whitacre tells all: why he committed crimes while a corporate mole for the FBI, how he went beyond mere acceptance of responsibility for those crimes, and how, via faith in God and the patient love of his wife Ginger, Whitacre became an inspiring spiritual force for good in the world. Written with finesse and passion, this book reveals the family's perspective, especially how Ginger kept Whitacre alive. Through her, his story begins where most other men's, once incarcerated, ends--prison. It shows how Whitacre got down on his knees in a filthy cell and begged God for guidance; how, from that moment on, fear and doubt vanished in the midst of doing hard time. Liberated after nearly a decade in prison, Whitacre's essential message is simple--live by the Golden Rule, tell the truth, look for the good in everyone, and know that spiritual wealth is far more important than material wealth.

Learn why Whitacre is called a national hero and a spiritual inspiration. Discover how he became dedicated to living in accordance with spiritual principles that apply to everyone. Well-turned, candid, and sincere, Mark Whitacre Against All Odds is one of the best of the world's tell-alls--as genial, eccentric, and unique as Whitacre's life. Read this book and discover how faith and family helped one man triumph against overwhelming obstacles.
