Staying Focused

Staying Focused is Walter Brown's follow-up to his previous book, Advancing the Kingdom. It is an inspirational, Christian-oriented poetry book aimed at the ordinary person that God wants to do extraordinary things in their lives. Brown helps the reader to see God, who loves and can change us, often resulting in our circumstances being made vastly better, restoring wounded relationships, and viewing life with a new and improved perspective. Staying Focused is filled with inspirational and creative poetry designed especially for seasoned Christians and young adults, speaking with a contemporary voice that will appeal to the younger generation. However, the book can also serve as a mentoring guide for older Christians who wish to minister to and understand the younger generation. Brown, a current active-duty military service member, has crafted Staying Focused with the main objective of glorifying the Father in Heaven. Using the gifts of creativity and poetry writing, Brown demonstrates both his talent as well as his heart for the Lord. Clearly, Brown has proven himself to be no ordinary man. He is different and unique because God crafted him that way. His poetry tells a story and inspires the reader to rise above his or her struggle, and continue on their journey with God. Staying Focused is no ordinary poetry book. It advances without boundaries, breaking through the mundane and the usual. It is also laced with the author's signature short stories between the various chapters. Brown woke up one day at the age of twenty-six and found out that God had put a passion in his heart for writing. The author's conviction and creativity show through the pages of the book, which is a must-read for sincere and new believers looking for a deeply spiritual book. Walter Brown is a fresh and relevant new author on the fathering scene. Walter offers hope for turning the tide of young dads who grew up without their fathers as he speaks to where all fathers-both young and old-live, work, and serve their families. Staying Focused draws on Brown's military experiences. He understands that if a soldier doesn't stay focused in the heat of battle, it could cost that soldier his or her life as well as the lives of others who depend on them. As such, Brown helps remind us we are in a battle for our lives and the lives of our families. As a sergeant should, he makes us aware of the treacherous terrain of life's many battlefields and guides us to where there is safety amid the chaos. Reading and practicing the principles explained by Brown in Staying Focused will help augment one's spirituality and assist them in being a better man or woman. The author is particularly concerned with finding a voice to help young men leading a family and raising children. Staying Focused will introduce readers to Brown and his passion for life, especially for young fathers. Be careful because he will steal your heart with his transparency, sharing his failures, wrong choices to which most of us can relate. Then, he will take us from the ashes to the heavens as he aims to introduce readers to the grace of God, a God of second, third, and fourth chances. Best of all, Brown provides an opportunity for several of those he is mentoring to express themselves in his excellent book. The author has put forth a look into the hearts of young people, an opportunity to learn what is relevant to them, and how to bridge the gap between older and younger generations. Indeed, readers will be truly blessed by Staying Focused.
