Resumen del Editor

In this intimate book of inspiration, Tyler Perry writes of how his faith has sustained him in hard times, centered him in good times, and enriched his life.

Higher Is Waiting is a spiritual guidebook, a collection of teachings culled from the experiences of a lifetime, meant to inspire listeners to climb higher in their own lives and pull themselves up to a better, more fulfilling place.

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.

This book made me laugh, made me cry and got me to reflect on a lot of personal issues. The best advise I ever got was right here and I wasn’t even searching for it. My only criticism would be that I would have wanted Tyler to have narrated it himself but Dominic did a great job! Thank you for this book Tyler, I very much enjoyed it and I can honestly say it has been one of my now favorites!

So many emotions I have struggled with my whole life were addressed. I have a clear path now to start the healing process.

a good book with awesome motivation.

A good book with awesome motivation. The reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 was because the book was not voiced by Tyler Perry.

Become aware early

Autobiographies offer insight and this one did not fail. Tyler linked his events and outcomes in such a way that kept you curious and engaged.
