Youngstown, OH Author Publishes Autobiography

By: PR Leap
October 09, 2025 at 03:00 AM EDT
(PRLeap.com) "The Black Sword", a new book by Philip Albenze, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

Philip Albenze's story begins with hardship. Born prematurely and spending his earliest days in the NICU, he faced a challenging start to life. Childhood was marked by ongoing health issues, including asthma and frequent illness. Despite these struggles, Philip was surrounded by the unwavering love and support of his family.

After serving in the Army, Philip's life took a darker turn. Haunted by traumatic experiences, he fell into a spiral of alcohol addiction, poor health, and a toxic marriage. A series of arrests, a near-death experience, and even surviving a gunshot forced him to confront the reality of his path. It was the thought of his young son that gave him the strength and motivation to change.

In "The Black Sword", Philip shares his powerful story of transformation-from a life of chaos and self-destruction to becoming a champion natural bodybuilder and certified personal trainer. His journey is one of resilience, redemption, and ultimately, purpose. Today, Philip dedicates his life to helping others reclaim their health, break free from addiction, and find strength-both inside and out.
