Book Cover & Preview Text
1) People are always finding passion for a certain thing or person, at any time during their lives. And people will confuse passion with purpose. But a passion isn’t always accompanied by success, happiness or determination. You may more often fail at something you had a passion for. A passion for a friend or lover may fail you … because a passion can be grown from hatred, affection and lust. But a purpose is actually quite different. It has a different set of rules in the area of determination. A purpose has a different cause as well as different meaning. Unlike a passion, which is indicative of its spelling … it can “pass” or can be diluted or dissolved … but a purpose is a consistent, conscious and an intentional drive toward an aim or a goal. It can be so deep and firmly planted that it could even, sometimes be inherited and uncompromising. For Carry, what appears to be the passion he has for his family and friends, his music and his work, are more of an amorous concession. In other words, it was a pre-existent desire in Candice that played out in him. Now that Carry is surrounded with love and attention from every angle, because of Candice’s concentrated effort, we know one thing for sure … he was more than likely, born with a purpose. 2) Maybe you’ve heard, or you’ve asked the question; “What’s in a name?” The most sensible answer should be; “Nothing!” In all due respect to all who are proud of their names … nothing is in a name accept the amount of letters that it takes to spell it. While the power may not be in the name itself, it is very necessary that everything on earth has a name. And in many cases, the names are the same. But like in the example of the name, ‘money.’ Multiples of people can have the same amount of money, but the value in it could be variable. 3) One Saturday evening, Carry received a phone call from Pastor Webster. She told Carry that she had been listening to him and his manner of speaking. She said to him; “Deacon Perrin-Simon, I’m no speech coach or expert on discourse, but I listen to you intensely, and I hear and feel the assertiveness in your voice. I would like to know if you feel confident enough in preparing and delivering your first real sermon at church in the next Sunday or two.” Carry immediately answered yes to the opportunity. He told Pastor Webster that he would call her in a day or two when he had a topic for the sermon. After only one day to ponder over it, Carry called Pastor Webster and told her that he knew exactly what he wanted to preach about and that he was ready. Quite honestly, Pastor Webster was in no way surprised about whether or not Carry was prepared. Most everything Carry does seem to come to him with very little thought, because Carry’s courage and his confidence were built in. He didn’t need a lot of time for rehearsals or preparation. He would show a sense of shyness at times. And, Pastor Webster was even amazed at how eager he was to preach so soon. But he was a shoe-in when it came to being among people. Pastor Webster knew this, because as someone who ministers the word of God herself, she left room to assume that whatever issues Carry may have had with shyness, had nothing at all to do with lack of confidence. In Pastor Webster’s mind, Carry’s shyness was actually his observation skills.

About the Book
A professional woman is so ambitious that she loses track of who she is and what her place in life really is. She is a single woman without a line of friends or relatives to offer genuine moral support. All of a sudden, she finds herself so out of place that she is subjected to being raped. Now she is so hurt and disgraced that she vanishes from site and is on a mission to find help. Her last resort is an old boyfriend whom she rejected earlier in their lives. He willfully harbors her and all her problems, including her child, to whom she has self-admitted that she was not fit to mother. Unknown to all who knew her, she was not at ease around children. The child she delivered was a boy. He came at a cost of her life for his. She prayed before she died. Her prayers were so real and sincere that the child became everything she wanted the child to be—and more. The child even became her, as she would have wanted to be if she were anyone but herself. He becomes a mega priest, and he replenishes all the family and friend-base that she was unable to build.
About the Author
I’ve always enjoyed writing. Poems, songs, jokes, and short stories were where I placed most of my interest. Then there was a collective amount of life experiences that urged me to write my first book titled Catskills, Catskills the Revelation. It was my autobiography, and it was my first time ever writing a book. So by that, I feel that, while I enjoy writing, I will not yet profess to be a prolific writer. However, during the time (approximately seven years) it took me to write my autobio, the experience was like an institution of learning that was comparable to an acceptable degree. And I value that time and experience more than twice as much. So much that I was encouraged to write another book. And over the last three years, I have committed to doing even more writing, with yet a third book already in its twenty-third chapter. But in the meantime, behold! My book, a fictional story titled Carry Your Name. I sincerely hope you will enjoy reading it.
