Higher and Higher

by Leonard Wayne

The Life Story of Leonard If a fictional character were given the life history of Leonard Wayne, few readers would readily accept him as believable—martial arts instructor, Teamsters enforcer, drug smuggler, truck driver, photographer, pilot, Hollywood stuntman, entrepreneur, and stockbroker. Yet Leonard claims all of these titles, in addition to ex-con. Now, for the first time, Leonard Wayne transparently shares the larger than life details of his journey from an abusive childhood to the triumph of faith and perseverance, a hope-inspiring story of redemption and restoration.

Like reading Tony Anthony's "Taming the Tiger ", this work, only 140 odd pages, shows how marvellous honesty and life can be, and it shows how truth is often stranger and quirkier than fiction. Nothing is made up or exaggerated here. Inexpensive, less than 4 dollars amazon kindle store. A treat to read, I found it hard to put down.

[DANIEL KULICK]

A life preserver

Amazing story. To overcome the level of adversity and turmoil experienced by Dr Wayne and achieve his current status is miraculous. For anyone who thinks they have “ bottomed out” this story provides the message that we all have a higher power who can “right the ship.” This should be an inspiration to all who are struggling.

[Leonard Wayne]

I was struck by a number of things in Dr.Wayne's book, but what stood out the most was the invisibly visible pull of God on this man's life. I relate well to Leonard's initial resistance and Jonah like response to the call of God on him, as well as his eventual brokenness and surrender before the Lord. I get it. I get the struggle between my way and God's way, between flesh and spirit, and between willingness to accomplish God's will and getting out of my own way to let Him have His way. Leonard paints a vivid picture of what it's like to walk with God after years of walking for the self. It's not an easy life or transition and Leonard is refreshingly honest about the struggles involved in such commitment to God. A number of themes in his book resonated with me strongly and I know they will grip other readers as well.
