Early To Rise: One Man's Journey To Eternity (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798902521792)

Early to Rise is the prequel to the author's first book, Late to the Harvest-One Man's Journey From Suffering to Salvation. In Early to Rise, the author's narrative carries the reader through a series of youthful triumphs and tragedies, which, when viewed through the eyes of a believer, lead toward a deeper realization of God's benevolent and eternal love.

In search of answers to life's ultimate mystery, the author turns once again to the guiding influence of his spiritual mentor, Fr. Gene Barrette. The book's narrative draws upon the spiritual insights of Henry Nouwen, Corrie Ten Boom, Matthew Kelly, Amy Hollingsworth, and Mother Teresa.

Early to Rise is a book of optimism, hope, faith, and stubborn pertinacity. In his effort to mine life's deeper meanings, the author shares his personal journey with God. While journeying within, the author discovers the deeper meanings of gratefulness, forgiveness, enlightenment, and the power of prayer."Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed." (Mark 1:35)
