FOCUS Learning Academy Founder Leroy McClure Shares Reflections On Life After Stroke in Book Displayed at the Guadalajara International Book Fair 2023
The numerous book exhibits at the Guadalajara International Book Fair 2023 included many inspiring publications from around the Americas and beyond. Among these was a very touching book by the founder of FOCUS Learning Academy, Leroy McClure. Titled “Life is Good Post Stroke: I Am Now Better Not Bitter,” it talks about how his experience of stroke has led him to a deeper, humbler approach to his faith and how it brought about a shift in perspective that made his good life even better.
“The only thing we can do is play the one string we have, and that is our attitude.”
Many thought leaders from around the world still release an occasional book to provide reflection and inspiration. These same books often circulate at various major book fairs. Toward the end of the year, they most likely wind up displayed at the largest book fair in the Americas, particularly the Spanish-speaking world: Guadalajara International Book Fair, also known as Feria Internacíonal del Libro de Guadalajara (FIL).
Hence, Leroy McClure was very proud to have one of his latest books displayed there this year. Titled “Life is Good Post Stroke: I Am Now Better Not Bitter”, it’s one of his more faith-centered works as well as the more honest and open reflection he has published thus far. It was displayed with the help of ReadersMagnet, a book marketing and self-publishing services company.
Many readers of McClure’s previous books would know him better as the CEO/founder of FOCUS Learning Academy. He’s also a Certified Academic Language Therapist (CALT) and Licensed Dyslexia Therapist (LDT). Much of his work involves not only education but also advocacy for literacy (especially for underprivileged African-American youth).
He goes by what he calls a “Triple A” principle, which stands for Attitude, Academics, and Athletics.
Yet, as he shares in his book, sometimes even the best athletic and health-conscious lifestyles remain vulnerable. On July 30, 2021, he suffered a stroke while working out at the gym.
This was then followed by years of both physical and mental health therapy. Throughout that time, this humbling journey changed his perspective on himself and his relationship with God. The experience of having been decreased also allowed him to see God increase in his life, with this book serving as his faith testimony.
