This story comes with trigger warning about domestic violence with an emphasis on physical violence.

Michael Clark is the founder and Executive Director of the Ananias Foundation. This is an organization committed to ending domestic violence at its roots by working with those who have caused harm.

Michael has supported thousands of individuals seeking to break free from abusive behavior by offering guidance and hope for change.

What makes Michael Clark so distinct? He is a former domestic violence offender himself.

He has transformed himself, and now he writes, speaks, and leads from his hard-earned perspective.

This story will tell us about his journey, his books, and more.

Here are important links that are discussed in this story:

• Ananias Foundation

• Michael Clark Author

• Michael's two books:

From Villain to Hero

The Truth About You

Michael Clark went from villain to hero himself. It's one thing to stop being an offender. It's another two to let his past become public.

For Michael, this was a remarkable transformation. We hope you find his story inspirational.
