Featured Interview With Paul A. Blake
Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
I’m Paul Anthoney Blake, Minister, Abundant Life Coach, Motivational Speaker and Author of 5 books, 4 of which have been nominated for various awards. I am from the island of Jamaica. I am a proud father, faithful husband and, above all, a Christian desiring to please God in all areas of my life. Coming from a dysfunctional family, I have a passion for empowering people through the power of words. I believe if I can help change the way people think, I can direct them to find their purpose to enjoy abundant living. I am driven to make the most out of every day and I want to share my story with the world.
At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
I started writing in 2012 after being encouraged by friends and family to turn my daily quotes on facebook into inspirational books. I have always been an avid reader from a young age. I never really saw myself as an author but changed through encouragement from friends and family.
Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
My favourite author to read is C.S. Lewis. My favourite genre to read is fantasy and sci-fi. I am inspired to write from what is happening around me. I draw from the challenges and struggles of everyday people hoping to encourage them to pursue the things that are most important to them living full lives.
Tell us a little about your latest book?
My latest book is on pastoral care and counselling, the importance that it holds for the 21st century church. It is a practical guide on how we can improve relationships among believers and the community by extension.
