On Your Mark, Get Set, Grow: A Wake-up Call For Folk Who've Been Rocked to Sleep by Lies Hardcover – March 18, 2026

On Your Mark, Get Set, GROW is a raw, unapologetic wake-up call for people who've been rocked to sleep by lies, clichés, and comfortable excuses. Dion Parker drags the truth into the light with gritty stories, street-level wisdom, hard-earned lessons, and bold spiritual insight. This book isn't polite. It's personal. It's a mirror and a megaphone-a call for readers to confront the trauma, patterns, and false beliefs that keep them from evolving.Raised in the English Woods projects of Cincinnati, shot seven times, stabbed, incarcerated, betrayed, addicted, and rebuilt from the ruins, Dion writes with a voice sharpened by survival. Every chapter breaks down a well-known cliché or toxic belief and rebuilds it with honesty, conviction, and hope. These aren't recycled motivational lines. They're real stories, real pain, and real transformation.Whether you're healing, fighting to grow, running from old patterns, or trying to wake up spiritually, this book gives you truth with teeth. It challenges the lies you were handed, confronts the excuses that kept you comfortable, and equips you with the clarity to step into the version of yourself you were always meant to become. If you're ready to evolve-not just change-this book hands you the uncomfortable truth and the tools to rise from it. Read more
