LONGWOOD, FL--Xulon Press author Herbert C. Long's new release, Built Stronger, "I Am What I Am"($14.99, paperback, 978-1-60791-220-0; $22.99, hardcover, 978-1-60791-221-7), explores the two important issues of power and success through the eyes of people from different parts of the world and different backgrounds. Using Scripture verses as a backdrop, the message the author conveys is one of encouragement--encouragement to know who you are and to whom you belong--for he believes that God will equip the reader with a solid self-esteem that will help them to be "built stronger" for whatever life brings their way.

Says Long, "Power and success are something everyone want more of. We want power to overcome the obstacles in our lives. We want the kind of power that makes us feel in control. Some of us want power that will enable us to reach out to and help the weak. Some choose to receive power from the source of all power, God. The reader can challenge their perception on how they view all the negatives that surround us with confidence to overcome."

Brought up in an old-fashioned religion that majored on guilt, Long discovered God's grace later in life and sought to share with others this truth as he traveled the world during his long career. He now sees himself as a messenger delivering the message of the love of God and the positive energy that comes from knowing His grace. "I am a man who has known great triumph and tragedy yet has faith in God and a positive attitude about life that is infectious," he explains.

Herbert C. Long currently resides in Cape Coral, Florida, with his wife, Nancy.
