BALTIMORE – Hugh Rowe`s love of writing began oddly enough out of accident, having come to the United States from Jamaica in October of 1998, he attempted to make a living short term working in the retail industry to pay for his daily living expenses as well as his studies however he was unexpectedly laid off, became broke, and after making bad financial decisions following being laid off, eventually found himself in debt. All these unfortunate struggles Mr. Rowe endured following being laid off, would now today 10 years later become not only part of the premise which his new book “Joseph`s Memoirs” stemmed from, but would also become the reason behind him turning to his faith more than ever and using experiences from other men of faith in the bible whom also struggled to overcome their challenges. Studying these men of faith and their struggles encouraged Mr. Rowe to document his own struggles in a journal and although never was it intended to be part of a book, that is exactly what these documentations of his struggles, thoughts, and testaments in faith led to, giving Mr. Rowe inspiration to freely write which in turn also became part of the platform he used in creating “Joseph`s Memoirs”. For a man that has had to overcome such challenging obstacles in his past such as being a victim of downsizing and a stuttering impediment throughout life when speaking which at one point in his life made him question not only his fate but his faith, he continued to believe and pray every day. This and so much more speaks volumes of why Mr. Hugh Rowe is such a sought after Book Author and Motivational Speaker with currently over a 100,000+ YouTube views and an ever growing twitter fan following, because he’ taught himself to get over his own stuttering impediment which he has now used as inspiration in helping to teach others how to get through their times of despair, he has over the past 8 years while researching the bible given small lectures everywhere from the work place to the church and as a result of rebuilding his own life has seen the lives of others he has come in contact with after reaching out to them through his motivational speeches, positively influenced
In his new book, Author Hugh Rowe takes readers back to biblical Egypt, a place throughout history where lessons have always been taught that still resonate in today’s world, in his unique new lifestyle guide “Joseph’s Memoirs: Life Lessons For A Successful You” (published by Author House). Joseph, son of Jacob and great grandson of Abraham, was born a prince but sold into slavery by his brothers, who despised Joseph’s dreams and values. After being sent to prison for a crime he didn’t commit, Joseph employed strength and determination to rise from slave to the second-highest position in Egypt. Throughout the book, Joseph learns some important lessons, particularly from his father, Jacob. The two discuss issues that are still relevant today: recession, job loss and family conflict. “People are exhausted and are looking for inspiration,” Rowe writes. “They are looking for something to believe in and give them hope. Every trial in your life is a process. “Your outcome is based on your reaction as you go through the process”.
