Simply a Must Read for All Ages!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Travis Otey's, One Man's Soul: Lessons of a Lifetime, is truly a soul stirring book, which will hit home with readers of all ages seeking answers to life's challenges. His divine lyrical writing style is showcased in this piece; there is a tremendous motherlode of wisdom and discernment packed into an inspirational collection of essays designed to curdle a spiritual revival - a reformation of how we handle the various relationships in life. The reader is refreshed by his passion to reach deep down in that hidden space where life's trials and tribulations can kill hope instantly. With a deep and abiding faith in God, Otey opens his life lessons so the reader can make choices that reflect their own heart's truest priorities and highest goals in life. Otey doesn't shy away from taboo topics like: -turning your life around from addiction to total abstinence and the burden of all addictions. - fear of being judged by others or living up to the standards of others - enduring the pain of a broken heart or divorce or family strife -facing adversity at work, at home, financially and personally If you've ever anguished over life's trials then this book is for you. There's a healing affect in its words. It won't magically heal you from the pains of life, nor give you rose-colored perceptions regarding life's adversities, but it will help you understand that all things can be turned to good ... and that the hardest lessons bring the biggest benefit to the maturing and deepening of one's faith. It will set you on the healing path and encourage you to take the higher, better road to a more fulfilling life. I recommend this book to everyone who've gone through adversities in life, have been wounded deeply by others, or who just simply find life hard to live. I'm sure you'll treasure this book; as much as I do... it is a Godsend to all.

One Man's Soul

This book is a collection of short essays written to give readers courage and guidance as they face life's obstacles. It is a testimonial of the author's wisdom learned through facing life with faith in God, belief in family values and use of good judgment. Both males and females will enjoy reading this book. Males will be able to instantly identify with the realistic situations. They will also find comfort in the fact that the book is written from a male perspective. Females will treasure the honesty the author expresses in each essay. They will enjoy reading the writings of a man that is not afraid to express emotions men normally hold-in. There are not any standout chapters in this book, which is not a negative, because each chapter holds its own by sticking to its topic and providing information of how best to intelligently accept life's challenges and boldly face them. The author doesn't leave any stone unturned in his quest to write an all-encompassing book about life lessons. There are chapters dealing with " Success, What Is It?" "Manly Needs," "Communication," "A Child's Needs," etc. Almost every life situation is covered between the pages of this book. The beauty of this book is the author's ability to provide guidance for almost all situations without coming off as a know-it-all. Even in the chapter titled "The Savior's Importance: Faith," his advice flows without sounding "preachy" or making him appear to be self-righteous. Also, the author never allows the reader to forget that taking personal responsibility for all your actions is the first step to achieving success. I would not recommend that anyone read this book as a novel; hurriedly from start to finish. The book would much better serve readers as a reference guide in times of needs. It doesn't even need to be read in chronological order. The reader should browse the table of contents and decide what situation in his/her life they can use encouragement and advice in and read that chapter. I found it refreshing to read an encouraging book written by an African American male. Move over Iyanla Vanzant, the brothers finally have someone we can relate to.
