Parables for Purposeful Walk
Price range: $3.99 through $21.99Parables For The Purposeful Walk follows in the tradition of Jack Worril’s first two books, “Parables for Plain People” and “More Parables for Plain People,” offering brief devotional messages for daily encouragement and inspiration. It was in the metropolitan Atlanta area that he made his living, raised his own family, carried out his various ministries, and witnessed the events and news items that have served as the basis for his writings. Since 2012, Jack’s ministry opportunities have expanded to include medical and evangelistic missions to Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Myanmar and Brazil, as well as several local Mission projects. Each of these personal experiences has added new perspective to the concept of walking the Purposeful Walk, and contributed to the enrichment of Jack’s observations of the working of God in the everyday lives of those with whom he has come in contact. The result is a collection of articles composed with the objective of focusing the readers’ attention on the Presence of God in each day’s events, whether personal, local, or worldwide. Jack’s desire is that these Parables will serve to give encouragement, guidance and inspiration to each one who engages in the purposeful walk through life.

Like The Moon, Mr. Purple
Price range: $3.99 through $39.99God creates the human families and grants them the ability to weave stories of their own existence. The Morada Clan of Bicol, therefore, as any family in the world, cannot claim a monopoly on life’s blessings and crucibles. But let me tell our peculiar stories just the same.
We are neither perfect, nor are our stories grandiose, but it’s our imperfections and their simplicity that make our stories more compelling and relatable. Even before the coronavirus pandemic of 2020, we told ourselves that someone had got to narrate them, or they could lapse and fade into insignificance and oblivion. That’s how and why my role came into being.
At work in Texas, they called me Mr. Purple. from an obscure corner of the Third World came this educator with his bio, love affair, work exploits, bittersweet memoir, and family history replete with actual events and genuine people, rolled into one. With the pandemic as standpoint, here is a look-back at the itsy-bitsy events that form the collective tale of my family and me – and my pursuit of the American Dream.
