Featured work: Losing My Mind: My Story of Surviving Bipolar Disorder
‘Losing My Mind’ is a powerful memoir by Calvin Dunn. Diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 1995, Calvin faced years of extreme highs and devastating lows that led to hospitalizations, arrests, homelessness, and despair. Through this book, he gives readers an unfiltered look into what it’s really like to live with this illness.
The book takes you through Calvin’s life before and after his diagnosis. He describes the manic episodes that led him to dangerous situations, the deep depression that made him feel hopeless, and the impact it had on his relationships, career, and future. But more importantly, he shares his journey of recovery—how he fought to regain control, rebuild his life, and become an advocate for mental health.
This book is not just about pain but also about resilience, strength, and the power of never giving up. Calvin’s story is inspiring, real, and relatable. It’s a must-read for anyone looking to understand mental illness or seeking hope during tough times. His message is clear: even when life feels impossible, there is always a way forward.
Faith of a Mustard Seed: Walking With God and Standing on His Word
This book delves into the profound connections between faith and spirituality. Centered around the belief that everything happens for a reason, and every life has purpose, I explore various aspects of life in an attempt to encourage, inspire and motivate people. As we all navigate through a world filled with hate, greed, jealousy and envy, this book gives readers a chance to explore a different perspective. Through faith and hard work anything can be accomplished if we keep a positive mindset and keep God first in our lives. This book is a transformative journey and an exploration of God’s love for us as I express some of the things I have learned during my time here on earth. This book will challenge your skepticism about the Lord and whether or not he really exists. I know he is real because I have seen his work and witnessed miracles in my own life. I invite the reader to explore the boundless realms of faith that reside within all of us.
