The Just Man: Raised By The Drumbeats

The Just Man is the powerful story of Clarence Sylvester, who became one of the first African American Senior Drilling Supervisors in the oilfield industry to lead an international crew on a hi-tech drilling ship. One afternoon, while volunteering at a community stakeholders event at Movie Studio Stage 8 in Fayetteville, GA, Clarence went into sudden cardiac arrest and died. His heart had to be shocked back into rhythm by God and two EMTs. The first word out of his mouth, after being raised by the drumbeats of an AED, was "JESUS". In this poignant, motivational book, Clarence chronicles his time as the 11th of 13 farming children from rural Breaux Bridge, Louisiana, persevering and rising to the top of the oil industry in a 35-year professional journey that spanned the globe. The Just Man reveals pivotal life, business, and spiritual lessons that we can all access to succeed-even after setbacks. Clarence demonstrates that there are drumbeats in life to get us back into rhythm, and keep rising.
