About this audiobook
An intimate book of inspiration by the one and only Tyler Perry—actor, producer, director, philanthropist, and the creator of Madea
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. In this intimate book, Tyler Perry writes of how his faith has sustained him in hard times, centered him in good times, and enriched his life.
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.

Mr. Perry did amazing - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Wow. Tyler really lays out the road map for God's people to prosper in their dreams and have a positive vision. this is a Mentor book for me.
He writes in a overtone like Bishop Jakes - that is - with an outlook of black people overcoming their own set backs and fears by letting go and using God's wisdom through the Bible to fuel you to continue the pursuit of success by staying open to redefine what it means to you, and keeping in mind how it's affecting your family by focusing on how far you've come, not how much further it is to get to the promise.
Be blessed, thank you Tyler for sharing! - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book was better than I expected. Very uplifting .
