The Killer Within Me Is The Reason I Choose To Pray Everyday...

A grassroots push for prayer. Forty-three year old author and recovering alcoholic Jay Kolo will be in Chicago March 6th through the 8th promoting his books and web site.

Lake Mary, FL (PRWEB) January 25, 2005 -- A grassroots push for prayer. Forty-three year old author and recovering alcoholic Jay Kolo will be in Chicago March 6th through the 8th promoting his books and web site.

The www.journeywithjay.net web site is the brainchild of Jay and his wife Amy. "The web site came to me during a period of intense prayer. I was looking for a way to reach people who are as bad off as I once was." Thus, The JourneyWithJay web site along with his two novels The Terminal Game and Knee Deep in Prayer became a reality.

The books and web site are designed to be a starting point for those seeking shelter from the fallout alcohol abuse brings. Jay Kolo himself is a startling example how prayer works miracles when humanity fails.

"I am a grateful recovering alcoholic," Jay explains, "But more importantly I am a grateful human being for having experienced so much joy after living through so much pain and self-abuse during my days of intense drinking. The pain I inflicted upon myself was nothing compared to the pain I put my loved ones and friends through. I drove drunk hundreds and hundreds of times and to this day I am frightened of the person I used to be. I use daily prayer to keep from ever becoming that individual again.

My web site along with my books are what I hope is just the start of a grassroots effort to turn people on to the power daily prayer delivers. The destructive nature that lies within me is the reason I choose to pray everyday. Prayer has rescued me from myself and delivered me along with my problems to God. The outcome is expressed in my books."

Jay will be visiting numerous coffee shops and making the rounds at several area bookstores throughout Chicago's northern suburbs. Jay Kolo, a native Chicagoan with nearly ten years of sobriety (who now resides in balmy Central Florida) has several other trips to Chicago planned this year. "It is my dream to see my books on the shelves of bookstores throughout Chicagoland by year's end. It is my hope, however, that prayer touches everyone's life the way it did mine," says Jay.

So if your year has gotten off to a shaky start and you want to feel the joy of spring a bit early perhaps reading one of Jay's inspirational books might be just what is needed to get through the rest of the winter. If you would like to meet Jay Kolo and have a cup of coffee with him while he is in the Chicagoland area, you can contact him through his web site www.journeywithjay.net
