Still Around

Saturday, April 28th, 2012

Sorry for not posting in a while. I have been busy with college and my internship, which is just about over. I’m still around though,  and I have some new posts coming soon. In the mean time, here is my new amazon.com Author Page biography. I think my regular readers (if your still here) will like it.  :)  Take care.

Darryl Duke was born December 14, 1959 in York, Pennsylvania. After winning a novice Golden Gloves championship at the age of 16, he would begin a slow and steady pattern of drinking that led to a fearful and unfulfilled life. In 1996, Darryl decided enough was enough and stopped drinking for good. At first, he used Alcoholics Anonymous and The Twelve Steps to help him find happiness and peace of mind, but after several years of sobriety he began longing for an answer to what the meaning of life was. As he searched for an answer, the idea to write his book “Why I Pray in the Shower” A Journey from Fear to Belief in Myself would come to him. Stepping out on faith and a growing self-confidence, Darryl would complete his book and know in his heart that helping others was his calling in life. Not much has happened in the way of wealth and fame since his book was published, but Darryl has never stopped growing as a person or believing in something that created life and the universe for a reason.  His belief in himself and the possibility of a creator, keeps Darryl moving forward on a path that he hopes will lead him to fulfilling his dream of helping the multitude of people today who are searching for something to believe in.

Another Book Review

Friday, January 6th, 2012

Awhile back I posted my first Amazon.com review for my book, and I thought I would share one from barnesandnoble.com. I appreciate what the person Anonymous said in it, and I like that it was on BARNES & NOBLE. “This is a wonderful book, highly recommend it. Darryl is so open and honest in his writing and accounts of his life both before and after his drinking days. He never preaches or comes across condescending at all. He writes in such a way that I was hooked and kept reading to see what happened next. He is also a testimonial to growth and self improvement. Anyone with a drinking problem would be helped by reading this. The personal story of overcoming problems and growing into self love and confidence, all without alcohol, should give many a sense of hope.”

I’m Still Here

Monday, July 4th, 2011

I just wanted to let the regular readers of my blog to know that I’m still here. I have been busy with classes at Delaware Technical and Community College. I have done a few video’s on my YouTube channel that you can check out. I did a video review for a friend who wrote a book called Dad, Me, and Muhammad Ali. Take care for now; I appreciate all the loyal readers of my blog.
