Former POW Mike Penn Releases New Book On Resilience, Recovery, And Personal Growth

Hope and Courage by Mike Penn

A heartfelt new book reflects on childhood, family legacy, and remembrance, with proceeds supporting Alzheimer’s research.

NEW YORK CITY, NY, UNITED STATES, January 2, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- At a time when individuals across professions are confronting unprecedented personal and professional challenges, former Prisoner of War Mike Penn offers a deeply grounded and hard-earned perspective in Hope And Courage: A Pow’s Guide To Life, Recovery, Success, And Peace Of Mind.

At its foundation, Hope And Courage is built on a defining truth: circumstances do not define a person—response does. Drawing from lived experience under extreme pressure, Penn moves beyond inspirational rhetoric to provide a practical framework for navigating fear, uncertainty, and loss. His voice is steady and direct, offering readers clarity instead of platitudes and action instead of abstraction.

Each chapter functions as a focused examination of resilience and the principles that govern meaningful success. Penn explores how hope, when paired with courage, becomes a strategic force rather than a passive emotion. His insights cut to the core of what sustains individuals through recovery and reinvention, emphasizing that the human spirit possesses an extraordinary capacity to endure, adapt, and rise when guided with intention.

The motivation behind the book is both personal and universal. Penn wrote Hope And Courage to serve those who feel confined by their past, overwhelmed by present circumstances, or uncertain about their future direction. He challenges the notion that success is rooted in luck or external validation, asserting instead that progress is built through disciplined thinking, internal accountability, and perseverance when outcomes remain unseen.

Designed for veterans, leaders, entrepreneurs, first responders, and anyone rebuilding after trauma or setback, the book speaks to readers seeking peace of mind without denial of reality. Edited by Frank Masters, illustrated by Mike Hamers, and featuring a foreword by Chuck MaGill, the work blends clarity with credibility, offering both reflection and direction.

More than a memoir, Hope And Courage stands as a call to personal responsibility and inner strength. It affirms that greatness is not reserved for the untested, but earned by those willing to confront adversity with unshakable resolve.
