Product Description

I learned early that if you don’t want to go to school for a career . . . then this was the life. And there were rules. You better not drink, you better not be a big shot and you better always stay low and keep your mouth shut. If you’re going to play the game, you’ve got to play smart.

Thus began Mario Facione’s slow descent into the Mafia world. With a desire to please his father, Facione kept the rules taught him - don’t get caught, know your people. . . never let them have control of what you’re doing, and never let anyone fully know what you’re up to.

So when two clean-cut young men in dark suits showed up on his doorstep, Facione’s main concern was to figure out the scam they were selling. Instead, he became surprisingly relaxed as these two answered every question he had unsuccessfully asked other clergymen. He learned real truth and began a journey towards knowledge. Yes, there is a reason why we are here on earth; yes, you can re-remember who we are and yes, it’s true, Heavenly Father still speaks through a modern-day prophet.

Marion Facione’s story is one man’s extraordinary journey through the darkness into the light. Reading his story will confirm again that the gospel is truly for every child of God who is willing to change . . . even someone who wants to go from Mafia to Mormon.

About the Author
After hiding a cache of incriminating documents in a secret locker at the Detroit airport, Mario Facione negotiated life and freedom with past "Italian Association" bosses. In the process, his wife left him and he was bombarded with lawsuits that left him financially destitute. But he trusted the Lord and remained resolute in his newfound religion—The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Today, Mario Facione is a successful businessman who lives in Michigan with his wife. They have three grown children and four grandchildren. He is also a temple worker in the Detroit, Michigan Temple.

Mafia to Mormon is his first book.

What Fun!
This is the kind of book that is not, and does not need to be a literary masterpiece. It does not claim to be one either. It's one man's story, simply told, and it's one that should be told. What an amazing transformation and an amazing story. I thoroughly enjoyed this little book and it has been the kind that I think back on often and recommend to people, not for its flowery eloquence, but for its being one of those tales that is worth telling; Honest and simple in it's telling, but uniquely complex in it's content. Loved it. The more I think about it, I would like to change my rating to five stars but I can't figure out how. I origanally gave it four for literary reason's but I actually feel that the content outweighs that. Rock on Mario.

great
I couldn't put it down. Not a literary masterpiece, but a fascinating, enjoyable, and inspiring story.

I picked this up and the library during lunch and finished the book before going to bed that night. I'm NOT a reader either. That's how into this book I was. I found the story fascinating and uplifting. Many miracles were at work in Mario's life. Thanks for sharing your testimony Mario.
