WINTER GARDEN - In living our lives, we all have a story to share and write about our experiences if we chose to do so. Unfortunately because of competing demands on our time, very few of us ever sit down to record incidents we recall, much less share them in book format with strangers. In a new book To Live Again, A New Beginning, Rhett Massey masterfully shares with you moments from his past with an interesting twist. As Rhett, a product of Winter Garden, looks back and remembers, he very candidly shares morsels of truth that have been dropped into his spirit by the architect of the universe, the creator of us all, who is very familiar with the journeys we all travel. What is unique about this book is that it deals with life issues and experiences we have all experienced or will experience at some point in time. In writing this very personal, inspirational, and motivational writing, Massey has made it a point to keep it at a level that everyone will be able to understand and embrace – free from the jargon of many of the other motivational and philosophical writings that have been written. In most of the pieces, he challenges readers to think about what they have read and encourages them to seek other truths for themselves and their own unique situations. As you read To Live Again, A New Beginning, you will be inspired, laugh, possibly shed a tear, reflect, appreciate your family and friends more, and be more conscious of the awesomeness of God; a God who not only is the orchestrator of the universe but one who is very caring and concerned about each of our lives. The Orlando Times is pleased to share with you the release of Rhett Massey’s book. We are pleased because Massey is a native of the Central Florida area; having been born and reared in Winter Garden. While growing up, he attended Lakeview Junior Senior High School and graduated with honors. He went on to continue his education at Florida State University in Tallahassee majoring in business administration with a minor in economics and religion and then on to Howard University in Washington, DC where he pursued a master of divinity degree with an emphasis on religious education. While this is his first book, it is not his first literary endeavor as he is the writer, producer, and director of a well-received and much-talked about play If God is Dead which premiered at the Bay Street Church of God in Christ in Winter Garden. Also while in undergraduate school, he created and developed a monthly newsletter, The Watsonite, and served as its editor-in-chief. The mission of the newsletter was to keep students who graduated and moved away abreast of the happenings at the church as well as the membership in general. To introduce and present To Live Again, A New Beginning to the public, the Bay Street Church of God in Christ will sponsor “An Evening With Rhett” in which the author will read excerpts from the book and sign copies for those who desire his autograph. “An Evening with Rhett” is scheduled for 7 p.m. Friday, November 28, 2008. The church is located at 1301 East Bay Street in Winter Garden, Florida. For more info, please contact Frances King at 407-656-2891 or Lillie Thompson at 407-298-0822.
