“11 Days” – A True Life Novel

Mark Holloway pt 1

Failed marriage. Failed business. This is something that many people around the world are facing or have faced. The current situation with forced shutdowns and lockdowns and isolation just exasperate problems that have been lingering under the surface. Now, they are rearing their ugly heads. Financial problems are often the major cause of marital problems. And with this COVID situation all across the world – no businesses open means no jobs and no income. But yet, the bills arrive like clockwork. That just leads to further problems in the home.

Well, my guest today faced something similar, except it was not COVID related. It was well before that. Mark Holloway’s life was spiralling out of control. His business failed. His wife left him. He was angry. And he was angry at God.

And when he screamed out at God, he was amazed when God spoke back! I think I would be too! Amen!

God then led him into a way to have amazing, ongoing conversations with Him. And he started to share this method of communicating with God, initially in a blog, and then in “The Freedom Diaries” – a book that has sold thousands of copies all over the world and helped untold numbers of people.

Now, Mark’s marriage has been restored – which, by the way, is what God initially told him would happen when he first cried out to God – Praise the Lord. But he is now about to publish a book titled “11 Days.”

“11 DAYS” is a novel based on a true story – Mark’s true story of how he stumbled on a conversation with God at the worst time in his life. And how that conversation lead to restoring his broken marriage and his failed business. It’s a story that has taught thousands to have their own back and forth conversations with God. As a result, marriages have been healed, drug habits busted, families restored, businesses revitalised and the Word of God has been shared around the world! Amen!

Help me welcome to the program, all the way from New Zealand, Mark Holloway! Mark, thank you for coming on the program today!

First question that I always ask is this. Other than that brief bit of information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Mark Holloway?”

Now, let’s jump straight into your book. This is a novel, written around a character named Jack Kincaid. But this is all based upon your story, correct?

Ok, so let’s go at it from your point of view and you can add in additional comments as you like from the book. But I want to set the background for everything you are sharing. It all started with what was published as “The Freedom Diaries.”

And to put it in a nutshell for our conversation, your marriage is in tatters. You’re angry – and you cry out to God. What happens next? I know – before you answer, let me preface it with this – I know you cried out to God, and that you were led to start writing down your questions. But when you initially cried out, did God say, “Get a pen and paper..?” So lead us through that initial time…

You were led at a Christian camp to write down your questions? How long did it take you to realize “this is how God was going to answer me…?” COMMERCIAL

There are so many people hurting all over the world right now, for various reasons, the COVID virus is a big one right now. People losing their jobs, loved ones, etc. Would this be a way for them to draw closer to God? Just by writing their questions down?

Once you write your question down, “Ok God, why is this happening?” type of thing. How does God answer? In thoughts, in other people, how?

Folks, admit it – we have all wanted to talk with God and ask Him some questions. Now, you can read a riveting, true life story as written by Mark Holloway in his book, “11 Days.” You need to get this book. This is going to revolutionize how you view your prayer time with God. Guaranteed! Amen!

About your host

Profile picture for Robert Thibodeau

Robert Thibodeau

I am a 12 year Army veteran as both enlisted and as a commissioned Cavalry Officer.
I am now a retired law enforcement supervisor...

I had my own business for seven years before I entered law enforcement.

As a cop, I was injured on the job on May 12, 2007 and after several surgeries over a couple of years, forced to retire in 2011.

As I was looking down the road to “what am I going to do next?” I started what is now known as a podcast (I had no clue at the time).

Within six months of starting (what I called) “My online radio program” I was offered an opportunity to be on nationwide AM radio. I learned A LOT in one year of doing that!

I then started the online Christian radio platform "Evangelism Radio" in the fall of 2010. It has had listeners in 160+ nations and all 50 states. We host 50+ Christian broadcasters on a weekly basis. We have been operating 24/7 for almost 14 years now. We have been rated #1 in the world by Shoutcast. com on several occasions in our genre. We recently transferred ownership of Evangelism Radio to another ministry so I could concentrate full time on podcasting, preaching and writing.

In 2018, I started the Kingdom Cross Roads Podcast to conduct interviews with Christian influencers from all walks of life and to play their interviews on the radio station. (The KCR Podcast has its own time slot on Evangelism Radio)!
We now have over 1600 episodes and almost 1100 interviews (in just over 6 years).

Looking out at the future of online Christian media, I noticed there was no viable platforms that catered only to the Christian podcast market.

In 2023, we launched a networking platform called, "FaithCasters" which connects "Great Christian podcasters with Great Christian Guests!" This helps to promote the work you do through podcast interviews! Check it out at https://FaithCaster.org

We recently launched "FaithCaster Academy" which serves as a training hub for ALL of our trainings (podcast training / speaker training / interview training, etc.). Members receive access to ALL of our training programs for one low, monthly membership fee. Members also receive FREE access to ALL of the LIVE trainings I conduct (1 or 2 per month) - while non-members have to pay to access the live trainings.

Between my podcast training program, conducting podcast interviews, appearing on other podcasts as guests, speaking at conferences (in person and virtually) and the podcast networking platform, I guess you could say “I’m all in” when it comes to podcasting and online media!

My total focus is to do all we can to assist you to “Get The Word Out” about your mission, services, products, ministry, books, business, etc.
