It’s not where you start, it’s where you finish
Michael Miller’s inspirational, effective messages on personal motivation have now been distilled into a compelling book, “A Promise to Persevere: It’s not where you start, it’s where you finish!”
Baltimore, MD: “A Promise to Persevere,” Michael Milller’s inspirational autobiography, is a moving testament to the power of the human spirit and the sheer will to succeed against all odds.
“Every human being comes up against obstacles in his or her life, and how they deal with these obstacles defines them as characters,” says Miller, one of the nation’s most successful public speakers. “I’ve drawn extensively from my own life in ‘A Promise to Persevere’ to show readers how much can be done simply with determination and education.”
“A Promise to Persevere” ($15.99 US / $21.99 Can) draws upon Miller’s own richly inspirational life to tell its story. Born into poverty, Miller became a father at 14 and dropped out of school at 16, unable to “effectively participate in his own life.”
It was only after he faced death that Miller was shaken into changing his life and overcoming hurdles through the power of education. In this stirring autobiography of a once-hopeless, poor black boy, one feels the warmth of hope and perseverance. One is also taught that finishing the race is all that matters – even if, as it did Miller, it takes 25 years.
“’A Promise to Persevere’ is a masterpiece on the power of the human will!” says Dr Jamal Harrison Bryant, pastor of the Empowerment Temple and best-selling author of “Foreplay: Sexual Purity for Spiritual Wholeness.” “This is a must-read for anyone serious about finishing anything.”
