Book Description
In this intimate book of inspiration, Tyler Perry writes of how his faith has sustained him in hard times, centered him in good times, and enriched his life. Higher Is Waiting is a spiritual guidebook, a collection of teachings culled from the experiences of a lifetime, meant to inspire readers to climb higher in their own lives and pull themselves up to a better, more fulfilling place. Beginning with his earliest memories of growing up a shy boy in New Orleans, Perry recalls the moments of grace and beauty in a childhood marked by brutality, deprivation, and fear. With tenderness he sketches portraits of the people who sustained him and taught him indelible lessons about integrity, trust in God, and the power of forgiveness: his aunt Mae, who cared for her grandfather, who was born a slave, and sewed quilts that told a story of generations; Mr. Butler, a blind man of remarkable dignity and elegance, who sold penny candies on a street corner; and his beloved mother, Maxine, who endured abuse, financial hardship, and the daily injustices of growing up in the Jim Crow South yet whose fierce love for her son burned bright and never dimmed. Perry writes of how he nurtured his dreams and discovered solace in nature, and of his resolute determination to reach ever higher. Perry vividly and movingly describes his growing awareness of God’s presence in his life, how he learned to tune in to His voice, to persevere through hard times, and to choose faith over fear. Here he is: the devoted son, the loving father, the steadfast friend, the naturalist, the philanthropist, the creative spirit—a man whose life lessons and insights into scripture are a gift offered with generosity, humility, and love.

Book Description
In the near future, a machinist, a monk, and a mesmerizer are looking for the Source of the universe, but among the ancient scriptures, they only find the devil ... Few humans in the future find the secrets of what words and sounds can do, for the Apocalypse and war have led them to evolve in mind and physique. Two of them end World War III with just a four-minute speech. Some say they did mass hypnosis. Others say it was their voice and will. Fifty years later in South Asia, KUSHA, a twenty-three-year-old machine-geek with social awkwardness and amnesia, tries to get the Devil’s Book with secrets of voice. But her idol of voice and everyone's beloved war heroes, YUAN and RUEM, are also after it for power. In a society that worships the evolved High Grades with voice, how you speak and which words you talk with is important. As someone who finds all solutions in books, Kusha thinks the secrets in the three-foot-long ancient book will teach her to speak mesmerizingly. She believes it will help her evolve. So, she decides to attend the auction where the book will be sold. But there's a problem; powerful High Grades want the book too. They want to code fate, rewriting the material world. They are undead, immortal mesmerizers. And being a philosopher, Kusha admires their ethics while she must fight them—the fight that starts with the book.

A must read for anyone who believes that God has a higher purpose for your life, and you long to break free from the status quo to be used by Him in a greater way. The good news is that God has faith in you. He is not calling you based on your past track record, your education, or what side of town you live on. None of these things are what qualifies you. God is only looking for your availability. Are you willing to be used by Him to powerfully impact others who are hurting and to bring positive change to the challenges faced within your community? The Bible is clear that God promises to be with us to accomplish any task He sets before us, even if it is in the hard places. In this book you will discover Biblical keys, and practical steps, to raise your sights for living every day with the Greater One on the inside of you. In our communities crime is rampant, drug addiction epidemic, homelessness continues to rise, and poverty and unemployment abound. Traditionally our prayers have been focused on bringing these needs to God and asking what He will do about them. But what if He wants to use you as part of His answer? Every day God intends your work to become your worship and for you to embrace your neighborhood as your mission. This book will affirm your calling into the marketplace where you can show others the love of God. It will provide you with the encouragement to step out. Consider this as road map for effective outreach in your city in ways and places that you may have never considered before. As you go, you may be surprised to find that Your City is Waiting on You!
