The Curse of a Good Name

“How much better to get wisdom than gold! To get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver.” (Proverbs 16:16). I count it as an honor and privilege to call Rev. Patrick D. Coats my friend and brother beloved. It has been a blessing to see a living legacy revealed to the world through his life and ministry as he has shared wisdom for personal, professional, and ministry contexts. In his book, “The Curse Of A Good Name,” readers will get a glimpse of the wisdom gained through lived experience of the blessings and burdens of a name.

Buckle up, as this book takes you on a transparent journey through the life of a brother who transitioned from walking in the shadows of greatness before him to paving a path of freedom for generations to come.
