“A must read for all in the justice system! I see in Mike Palombi’s story the troubled and defiant youth that appear before me all too often. How’s it Feel, Tough Guy? is a riveting account of why prison should be the last alternative for reform, and it’s proof positive that all is never lost. I will keep copies of this riveting memoir on the bench.”

From the first paragraph...people and events jump off the page, thanks to deceptively simple but straight to the jugular description, dialogue and setting....The author consistently carries the action through to his incarceration and subsequent turning to an honest and accountable life. Whether struggling with religious beliefs or abusive childhood memories, dealing with health problems or heartbreak, or giving back to those who molded him, Mike Palombi's voice rings true, making this a difficult book to put down.”

What an honor it has been to be able to share in even a small part of this story that I am sure will continue to encourage and change lives.”
-Mac Powell, Lead Singer of Third Day
Read More“The honesty, humility and repentant heart of a ex-criminal and prisoner is so refreshing in Mike’s story. So often similar testimonies like this are portrayed as one coming to Christ and they then live happily ever after. The realism of Mikes struggle before and after coming to Christ is so refreshing and demonstrates that through perseverance and the grace of God there is ultimate victory in Christ. As someone who has seen first hand how God’s power can change anyone’s life, Mike’s is outstanding among them. I highly recommend this book. “
