Mark has written two books 'In His Image: Rediscovering Who We Are' and 'Prison to the Palace: A Journey to Freedom'.
Prison to the Palace is an invitation to embark on a journey to experiencing greater freedom in our lives.
In this encouraging and practical book Mark Russell identifies some common ‘prisons’ that we can feel locked up in; disappointment, hopelessness, shame, fear and rejection. Readers are then equipped with some 'keys’ to leaving prisons behind; powerful steps we can take such as a having a correct perspective, forgiveness and renewing our minds. In the final section of the book the focus is the Palace - the rightful place where we as royal children of God live. Mark presents further tools, such as thanksgiving and knowing who we are, to remain steadfast in living life from a palace perspective.

Endorsement
"Mark Russell’s latest book… Prison to the Palace, is a very helpful resource for all who desire to go deeper into their relationship with God but may sometimes feel stuck.
Mark does a fantastic job describing the things common to all of us that can often cause us to feel unable to enter into the fullness of life that Jesus secured for us. He also provides very practical keys that will help each reader find the freedom they are searching for in Christ.
So, if you long to experience the immeasurable ocean of the Father’s amazing love in increasing measure and be freed from some of the things that might hinder you in your journey, I highly recommend this book."

'In His Image: Rediscovering Who We Are' is intended to be a journey of re-discovering who we truly are as children of God who are made in His image. Mark’s heart is for readers to receive revelation from Father God about our identity as His sons and daughters. That we, His Church, see ourselves as He sees us: royal, co-heirs with Christ, seated in Heavenly places and living from a secure place of sonship in Abba Father’s family.

"In this amazing book Mark does not just teach concepts, but ministers transformation. By replacing the ought’s and the must-try-harders from the Christian's life and replacing them with profound truths of who we are in Him, the reader is empowered to live a completely new sort of life. These truths deconstruct our self-reliance and isolation and grasp us into Father's overwhelming acceptance and love. No superficial soundbites here. Each chapter presses home a new facet of truth with clarity, Bible and a persistence that will seem too good to be true, but is undeniably what we are born for. A must read!" (Vince Turner, Pastor, River Church)

What OTHErs have said
Prison To The Palace
"Having read Mark's first book 'In His Image: Rediscovering Who We Are' I was eager to read 'Prison to the Palace: A Journey to Freedom'.
Prison to the Palace takes the reader on an insighful journey, beginning with identifying the 'prisons' we can find ourselves in, such as disappointment, fear and rejection. It helped me to understand why I have often felt a sense of inertia when trying to move forward into the plans God has for me. As I continued to read, I was given hope that by using the keys Mark helpfully descrivbes, such as promises, forgiveness and renewing my mind, I can escape these prisons for and find freedom. The good news didn't stop there though and as I read the final section of the book, I felt encouraged that by walking in my true identity as a beloved child of God and seeing life from Jesus' perspective I can experience even greater freedom and help other to do the same. I hghly recommend this encouraging and transformational book."
Amazon review
"I can definitely recommend this book and have given one to a friend who was struggling in the 'prison'. The first time I read it I was able to use one of the keys and it lifted me from my low mood instantly!"
Amazon Review
"This book contains yet more truths & keys & understanding of who we are & our Fathers love for us. Mark expands on those areas in our lives that can keep us locked up in prison, possibly not even realising it. Mark reveals and enables the practical application of the truth of God's word which when applied in faith takes us from bondage to freedom from the "Prison to the Palace " where we truly know that we are sons & daughter's of the King of Kings."

In His Image
“In his book, Mark presents a clear and well written summary of the gospel. Most Christians know God as ‘a’ Father or even as ‘the’ Father but Mark clearly shows there is much, much more than that for us to discover. Clearly and simply written, Mark shows us the profound truth that what the Father longs for is to be a Father to us. We are his sons and daughters and can therefore enjoy an incredible inheritance. I highly recommend this book.”
Mark Gyde - Author of 'A Father to You'
"In this book Mark shares much of his own personal journey in rediscovering who he is, which in turn undoubtedly helped me in my own journey of rediscovering who I am, with wonderful truths and scriptures and example of just how much we are loved beyond measure by our Father in Heaven - that we are indeed made 'In His Image'...."
Mrs B - UK
"Mark lays out the Scriptural foundation for our identity as sons and daughters of God - and shares his own powerful testimony of experiencing the transforming love of the Father. This book is anointed and I highly recommend it."
Pastor from America
"This delightful little book combines testimony and biblical insight to help up fulfil the truth that we were 'created in God's image ' - Genesis 1:27. The author helps us discover what it means to be a child of God, combinign biblical knowledge with what we beleive in out heart and what we experience."

Pastor from Kenya
“In His Image is one of the best christian books I have read. Each chapter is a blessing. The author really gets across how God loves us as a Father. It is very Bible based. When reading this book take your time. There is a lot of great material to be learnt from it. A lot of wonderful truths in this book.”
Amazon review
"'In His Image' helps us to more fully understand the revelation found in the first book of the Bible - that we are all created in Father God's image. The sub-title highlights what is in store for readers - to rediscover who we are. This is not a theological treatise but rather an invitation to each reader to step into the reality of what is waiting for us when we encounter the Creator of our world and all He has for us. Easy to read, exciting to understand and challenging to embrace. This is a journey well worth encountering - an invitation into a relationship in which you will become enriched and be able to enrich others." Amazon review
"If you want to reflect on your identity, and your faith, this is a great book for you. Mark shares about his own story and weaves scripture into his writing well."
