L.E.N.S. Author for 2023

Mr. Jamison S. Charles

“SAVED-ish:  Sometimes It’s Hell Gettin’ to Heaven”

Saved-ish is only slightly fictional in that the protagonist’s fall and rise mirrors that of the author.  I was incarcerated as a teen because I was a follower as well.  I blindly followed my so-called friends straight to prison. 

Thankfully, while there, I found a new friend to follow.  One that sticks closer than a brother: My Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!  And through Him, as well as my incredibly loving family, I have truly turned my childhood tragedy into my manhood’s triumph.  I have since earned my master’s degree in Theology, become an ordained minister, a motivational speaker and, at last, a published author.  Which allows me yet another platform to inspire and enrich.  Making my teenage incarceration my battle cry and not my crutch.

 

Mr. Jamison Charles currently reside in Beaumont, Texas.  His book can be purchased on Amazon.com.
