“This is a sponsored post on behalf of Review Wire Media for Penguin Random House. I received information to facilitate my review as well as a promotional item to thank me for my participation.”
As a blogger there are items you dream about reviewing or people you dream of working with. One of those people is Oprah Winfrey for all she has done for the world. As well as the people she has introduced me to through her show.
One of those people just happened to be Tyler Perry when he was first starting out, I saw Tyler Perry on Oprah’s show, I didn’t even know who Madea was or that Tyler Perry made movies. All I knew was Tyler was a Christian that loved his mom.
Then one day I was watching TV and a commercial came on and which talked about a movie being created by Tyler Perry. I begged my ex-husband to take me to see the movie. Once I watched the movie, I was hooked on Tyler Perry. I let my ex know one day I would like to be able to meet Tyler Perry or work with Tyler Perry.
Before you ask no, neither of those things has happened but I’m not giving up as God knows our dreams. The other day I was chosen to review Tyler Perry’s new book and I felt like I had died and gone to Heaven.
As soon as the book arrived, I had to show everyone I know. I have waiting list of friends and family who want to read the book as well. Once I got home, I locked myself into my room and I sat down to read the first chapter of ” “Higher Is Waiting“.
Only once I started reading Higher Is Waiting I couldn’t put the book down. I had to have David order Pizza and help Charlie with his homework because I had to finish the book. Which was like Tyler Perry was talking to me. I loved knowing Higher Is Waiting is full of inspiration as it helped me rise from the depression I’vr been fighting.
I like how Tyler Perry credits everything to his Faith and without my own Faith I wouldn’t have been able to survive my daughter’s death. As I read Higher Is Waiting, I felt like I was talking to an old friend. I had more energy than I had in a long time. I felt like I could do things and not become distracted or frustrated.
I loved getting to meet some of Tyler’s family through “Higher Is Waiting ” including his own mother who has passed away. I could feel Tyler Perry’s love for her through the book. I just wish I could have met this incredible woman so I could let her know how much Tyler Perry meant to me.
I love learning how Tyler was able to choose Faith over Fear and if more of us could do the same we would live in a much better world. Tyler’s Book is to be given as a Gift of love to everyone in our lives from now on.
