MAJOR MILESTONE: Atlanta author Dr. Laxley W. Stephenson on assessing his sophomore book: ‘Writing this book has been a personal achievement and a spiritual affirmation’
Andre Johnson 
For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. (Jeremiah 29:11/NIV)
GOD’S PURPOSE PUSHER
Dr. Laxley W. Stephenson recalls like yesterday how his latest book project emerged.
“I was interviewed on a program with the concept of leafless but not lifeless,” Dr. Stephenson told Making Headline News during a recent interview. “After completing the interview, a thought surfaced in my mind regarding why so many of us with unlimited potential and capabilities are not realizing our true potential.
“I went to bed that night and woke up the following day knowing I wanted to do some work centered on purpose. I approached my daughter, Kiana, and within minutes of our discussion, we decided to name the work the A Collision With Purpose: In Pursuit of Purpose.”
And just like that, Dr. Stephenson’s sophomore written work had become a highly-anticipated reality, an informative, riveting project that is currently in the production’s final stages.

AND IT CAME TO PASS — “This project and the book that emerged from it, A Collision With Purpose, embodies my calling,” Dr. Stephenson told MHN. “It has been a profound process that involves not just understanding but actively stepping into the role I feel has been divinely assigned to me. Writing this book has been a personal achievement and a spiritual affirmation, offering me a tangible way to reach out, connect, and uplift others. Through this work, I aim to inspire, challenge, and provide a beacon for others on their own quest for purpose while fulfilling my own.”
“The A Collision With Purpose: In Pursuit of Purpose began in August 2022 and is still ongoing,” Dr. Stephenson told MHN. “Consequently, we began writing the book in August 2022.”
To his credit, Dr. Stephenson’s forthcoming new book is as good as advertised.
“Through a series of powerful stories and insights, Dr. Stephenson takes us on a journey of self-discovery and helps us to understand that our pain is not a curse, but a gift,” said a spokesperson for this accomplished Atlanta-based author’s book via the book’s website. “He shows us that pain can awaken us to our true calling in life and that we can use our experiences of suffering to serve others and make a positive impact on the world.”

Dr. Stephenson’s A Collision With Purpose: In Pursuit of Purpose is the second book he published in 2023, a guide that is conceived as a voyage toward the innermost reaches of the self, navigating through the layered processes of self-awareness, self-acceptance, and the continual pursuit of self-enhancement, he explained.
At its core, “A Collision With Purpose,” In Pursuit of Purpose, is a book about hope, healing, and the power of the human spirit to overcome adversity and find purpose. This book will inspire and motivate you to embrace your pain, discover your purpose, and use it as a force for good in your life and the lives of others.

Dr. Stephenson acknowledged that UnEarthing YOU: Your Guide to Self-Discovery and Personal Growth is not just a book.
“It’s a mirror reflecting the intricate portrait of who you are and a map that charts the path to who you can become,” he told MHN. “Traversing each chapter and completing each exercise will uncover a more profound understanding of your unique character. This guide aims to be your companion as you sculpt a life that is not only successful on the outside but also richly satisfying and authentic to your true self on the inside. Through introspection, application, and the courage to embrace change, this guide will support you in crafting a narrative of personal evolution that is as rewarding as it is transformative.”
Interestingly enough, since word spread of Dr. Stephenson’s latest book, he has become the beneficiary of an array of favorable feedback.
“So far, the response to my publications has been overwhelmingly positive, surpassing my expectations,” Dr. Stephenson, a native of Little London, Westmoreland, Jamaica, said. “The concept that serves as the foundation of these books — a diverse group of individuals spanning various races, ethnicities, cultures, and nationalities coming forward to share pivotal moments from their personal histories — has struck a chord with a global audience. These narratives, rich in their diversity, converge on a shared theme: moments of profound revelation where each person encounters their true purpose.
SAVE THE DATE
“This universal resonance has drawn acclaim and fostered a sense of community among readers from all walks of life,” Dr. Stephenson continued. “It’s a testament to the power of storytelling and its ability to unite us across societal divides, as these personal accounts of epiphanies and purpose resonate with a wide array of individuals, inspiring them to reflect on their journeys toward self-discovery and fulfillment.”
Other books, Dr. Stephenson said, are on the horizon.
When asked in what ways does his latest book aligns with the purpose for which God has created him, Dr. Stephenson said:
“From a young age, I’ve been imbued with a sense that my life is meant to serve a significant role — one centered on elevating those around me and positively impacting their lives. This intrinsic belief has been the compass guiding my actions and decisions, leading me to seek avenues to make meaningful contributions to the world. The journey has been one of self-discovery and dedication, culminating in my work on the A Collision With Purpose Project.
DESTINY STEPS
“This project and the book that emerged from it, A Collision With Purpose, embodies my calling,” Dr. Stephenson continued. “It has been a profound process that involves not just understanding but actively stepping into the role I feel has been divinely assigned to me. Writing this book has been a personal achievement and a spiritual affirmation, offering me a tangible way to reach out, connect, and uplift others. Through this work, I aim to inspire, challenge, and provide a beacon for others on their own quest for purpose while fulfilling my own.”
