Deep Within My Heart

The essays in this book, written over a period of three years, range from deeply personal to political and spiritual ponderings. Having been in analysis since 1977, Wade approaches his topics with a perspective wrought by channeling his unique insight through discipline and contemplation. Wade is a retired certified public accountant with more than 30 years' experience in government and private business. He lives in New Orleans, a city he has grown to love. Throughout his adult life Wade has experienced episodes emanating from his bipolar condition, but now, thanks to a regime of proper diet, enough rest, regular exercise, carefully prescribed medication, and psychoanalysis, he enjoys an active, fulfilling life. "These are thoughtful reflections about faith and human existence from a gentle and sensitive soul. The reader will feel immediately welcomed and at home with John Wade's candid sharings." Donald R. Frampton, Senior Pastor, St. Charles Avenue Presbyterian Church

John E. Wade, II is a retired certified public accountant with more than 30 years of experience in government and private business. While Wade’s first writings were of a financial subject matter, he soon found himself writing about personal experiences to help him through difficult times in his life. The result is an intimate collection of essays: Deep Within My Heart.

Having been in analysis since 1977, Wade has fine tuned the art of introspective thinking and coupled this skill with a rare honesty that shines throughout his work.

Wade’s first published collection, Deep Within My Heart touches on such personal topics as his bipolar condition, life in his adopted hometown of New Orleans, political observations and spiritual insights.

He confesses to writing in the wee hours of the morning over iced coffee. Wade’s hope for his book, above all else, is to alter the landscape of the world through its messages of hope and love.

Wade graduated first in his major from the University of Georgia with a B.B.A. and also received a Masters degree in Accounting. He was president of the accounting honor society Beta Alpha Psi.
