Featured Interview With Javon Rahman Bertrand
Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
I was born and raised in the city of Detroit, where I currently reside. I am city boy with a heart of gold.
At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
I have always been interested in books. However, I feel in love with books around the time I was 8. I wanted to read EVERYTHING! I fell in love with words, their power and the able to articulate them in speech and in writing. I started writing when I was in the sixth grade. I started writing poetry, poetry became the love of my life at that time. I engulfed myself in modern and older poetry and began to write as an emotional release and just something I enjoyed. When I got older I began to write short stories and my passion for writing grew from there.
Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
I have a range of authors. I love the Harlem Renaissance era. I love Langston Hughs, Zora Neale Hurston and the like. I love books on spiritual matters. I love John Eckhardt, Cindy Trimm, Cindy Jacobs and Bill Hamon plus others.
My favorite genres are spiritual/religious and poetry.
I cannot say one person inspires because I gather inspiration from the authors I like as well as the people in my life.
Tell us a little about your latest book?
My latest book is “The Exposition of the Tabernacle: The Culture Exchange”. This is my sophomore release. I wrote this book in 5 days! Yes, 5 days! This book came from a teaching that I have done at churches over the years.
This book is a practical and prophetic look at the tabernacle given to Moses. We will practically look at how the tabernacle allows the children of Israel to encounter God. Prophetically, we will look at how the tabernacle will change our culture and lives through every instrument. This book will take us from sinner to priest and king. It will also take us from a culture of sin and slavery to a culture of freedom and priesthood. The Exposition of the Tabernacle will unveil the tabernacle not only as it was for the children of Israel but how it pertains to us today.
This book shows foreshadowing of Christ and the works of Christ in our lives today.
