Author Dennis Perkins: Writing What He Knows, Living What He Teaches

by Cyrus Webb

This has been a busy year for Mississippi author Dennis Perkins---and there is no sign of him slowing down any time soon.

What began with a book that he never planned to write---Everlasting Love---has led to But the Greatest of These Is Love and now The Courage to Step Out of the Familiar. In each book he is able to share a bit of himself, what he has learned and the principals that guide his life and what he shares with others.

The two of us met for the first time in person during his first book-signing at Barnes and Noble in Ridgeland, MS for his book Everlasting Love, and we have built up a friendship ever since. It's been great to see how he has overcome his pain and grief, learned from lessons and now can display by example what faith and action can do for us all.

Deeply personal, Everlasting Love is all about his wife, their highs, their lows and living without her. It is also about the power of faith and confidence in God and what he is able to bring us out of. Perkins writes in the book "Each day He shows me a little more about what I am to do and who I am to see." With that guidance he has continued his work of speaking and writing.

The latest book The Courage to Step Out of the Familiar is not just about courage but the importance of work to go along with our faith. It takes patience and trust in God, but it is worth it.
