PHILADELPHIA, PA, October 11, 2014 /24-7PressRelease/ -- There are two ways to play the game of life; either you play by the world's rules (which always change) or follow the unchanging guidelines God provides to everyone for successful living, if they choose to follow them. One way is very frustrating and unfulfilling while the other way leads you to happiness, success and wealth. Using real life stories from his life author Steve Ettien shows the way to live life successfully... God's way.
"I believe that readers will really connect with each and every chapter since each one is an individual real life story," says Ettien. "It is not some academic theory but is based on a real live person who is down to earth, grew up poor and starting living life on the world's terms and by its rules. When I wrote the book I imagined I was sitting at the kitchen table, drinking coffee and talking with the reader. I know this style of storytelling will really help the reader connect with the stories since it seems more of a conversation."
Published by Tate Publishing and Enterprises, the book will be available upon its release through bookstores nationwide, from the publisher at www.tatepublishing.com/bookstore, or by visiting barnesandnoble.com or amazon.com.
Steve Ettien started out his adult life trying to live up to the world's expectations and attempting to reach the world's definition of success. After many failures he started to review his decisions and think through what he was doing in order to discover what was going wrong. Ettien was not rich, did not come from wealthy family and was just another "average" person. Through his real world experiences he learned that he was living life all the wrong way...the world's way. After thirty years of study, living, and adapting he finally discovered the true way to live life. By today's standards, Ettien is not rich, famous, or wealthy however, by the standards that he has "discovered" he lives a very rich and fulfilling life.
Steve Ettien starting writing newspaper articles in Johnstown, Pa. to help people live their lives on better terms and to improve themselves. On the suggestion of a friend he started on his journey of writing this book. Ettien grew up in Baltimore, Md., joined the military in 1981 when he was 19 as a Private and retired from the Marine Corps as a Major in 2003.
