From Broke to Blessed.
The honest, unfiltered story of what financial transformation actually looks like — and the principles that made it possible.
What This Book Is About
The journey from survival to abundance.
From Broke to Blessed is Mark Anthony McCray’s most personal book — a raw account of what it means to come from scarcity and build a life of genuine financial freedom. This isn’t a get-rich-quick guide. It’s a framework grounded in discipline, faith, and strategic decision-making.

Author’s Note
Why I wrote it.
I wrote From Broke to Blessed because I know what it’s like to be ashamed of your bank account — and I also know what it’s like to rewrite that story completely. If one person reads this and believes they can build something real from nothing, it was worth every word.
— Mark Anthony McCray
