Tyler Perry Release New Book "Higher Is Waiting" Live in NYC on November 14

Tyler Perry Release New Book "Higher Is Waiting" Live in NYC on November 14

FEATURED Content

Over the years Tyler Perry has become a household name what with his films, plays, television shows, and his iconic character Medea. Through hard work and perseverance he has risen to an unequivocal level of success having started his work in the entertainment industry with a play that garnered almost no ticket-sales. This didn’t deter Perry, instead pushing him on to work harder and try again and the next time he put on his play he was met with sold-out crowds. Now he’s ready to pass on the things he has learned in life in his spiritual guide Higher is Waiting.

In this book, Tyler shares how his faith in God is what has carried him through all of the tough times he’s experienced, from a difficult upbringing to failed career endeavors.



He tells about the people in his life and the lessons they taught him, lessons about integrity, forgiveness, and trust in God. Perry describes how he has grown into the devoted son, the loving father, the creative spirit, and more after growing aware of God’s presence in his life.

Join us as Tyler Perry shares his work at The Town Hall!
