About the Author

Antonio L McDaniel pursues a lasting intimacy with God and with renewed vigor, is determined to maintain the integrity of God in every facet of his life. At his core, Antonio is forever the student and as quickly as he learns, he teaches; not beholden to selfishness, Antonio encourages and builds lives through conversation, prayer or even laughter. His personal mantra is “If you can laugh, then on some level you know that it will be alright!” Although bound by the limitations of humanity, Mr. McDaniel actively embraces the truth of God's word and refuses to bow down to sin, instead he regularly seeks the holiness and righteousness of God for a life beyond himself. Esoterically, this type of life embraces the concept of a "good man"; under this umbrella, Antonio is required to not only be a good husband and father, but also a good friend and confidante; it allows him to accept the mantle of manhood for his life and to fulfill his purpose in God. Professionally, Mr. McDaniel is a certified public accountant (CPA) and holds his Masters of Business Administration in Accounting; he has over twenty years of experience in the accounting industry, inclusive of a few years as a Church Administrator. Spiritually, Mr. McDaniel is as passionate about God as he is in teaching about God. Maintaining his desire and commitment to help God’s people reach their heights in Him, Mr. McDaniel has taught Principles of Leadership, Oral Communication and Practical Administration at a local college in North Carolina.
