Higher Is Waiting is a spiritual guidebook, with 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. Tyler Perry writes intimately of how his faith has sustained him in hard times, centered him in good times, and enriched his life. Understanding of faith is truly important this book is one read you will need to have in your book arsenal.
We learn in the beginning about 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. We learn about his aunt Mae, who cared for her grandfather, who was born a slave and sewed quilts that told a story of generations. This book goes even further with tales about Mr. Butler, a blind man of remarkable dignity and elegance, who sold penny candies on a street corner. We discover his love for 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.
We appreciate how 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.
