As a writer and speaker, Richard loves the challenge of being a “bridge” between old ways and new; a “connector” between people who have traditional viewpoints, and those with more creative and unexpected narratives. He understands the need for breaking down silos and the importance finding the synergies across communities.
Richard J. Marks' nonfiction inspirational book project published by New Degree Press (April 2020), RISE TO THE SUN: 7 Footsteps and 7 Prayers for Getting Out of Hell, is a gentle book about spiritual healing and personal/community transformation. Richard believes we can turn ourselves, and our activism, from hopelessness and feeling stuck to self-worth and freedom. The book is about the importance of finding freedom and seeing beauty. It is about what happens when we begin to unlock and unchain all that prevents us from being human beings who are worthy of love. Rather than a self-help book, it brings people to experience their own pauses and prayers.
