Carolyn L. Austin was born and raised in Miami, FL. In 2014, she recognized “the call” and began writing Prayer Share as a daily devotional to aid friends’ healing. Life’s trials and tribulations led to Austin’s debut book, Prayers of My Mother: Volume I, which has her fans anxiously awaiting Volume II. Her faith and positive attitude reaffirms readers’ relationship with God as she provides encouragement and guidance through significant life-changing moments.
Carolyn, a retired law enforcement officer, is a real estate broker, certified internal auditor, and business education instructor. She has one daughter, Caroiya and two grandsons, DeAndre and Elijah. Caroiya is also a writer.
Prayers of My Mother: Volume I is a book filled with powerful Scriptures, relatable and poignant anecdotes, and edifying prayers. My male readers comment that it gives them present-day application for the Scriptures. Prayers of My Mother is designed to encourage anyone struggling with life events to have faith and believe in the power of prayer. It was written for everyone, despite their religion or beliefs, and introduces Scriptures to those unfamiliar with the Bible. Prayers of My Mother also depicts how the same flaws, mistakes, and regrets that we experience today were also experienced by people during Biblical times; and that the same parallel choices, rewards, and consequences still apply.

Prayers of my Mother: Tiny Pieces of Faith to Help You Believe He is There for You by Carolyn L Austin is a collection of beautiful prayers, meditations, and anecdotes that celebrate the author’s experience of faith, transmitted through her anointed mother. The texts are well-composed and they feature powerful biblical references. In this book, readers will discover the real reason for their faith, find courage to hold onto it even in the midst of harrowing tribulations, and learn to listen to the voice of God that speaks to them through the Scriptures and directly to their hearts.
This book is beautifully written. Divided into five different parts, it traces the author’s spiritual path and creates one that readers can use to travel to God. Readers will learn the different ways of deepening their relationship with God, growing in trust, and increasing their faith. The author’s voice comes across powerfully. It is clear and confident and when she talks about God, the reader is left in no doubt that she is speaking from a place within her heart where she has been touched by the Divine Flame and where she feels unconditionally loved. This book will definitely lead every reader seeking God to arrive at that point of maturity in faith and in the quest for ultimate union with their creator. Carolyn L Austin’s writing is simple and very accessible and I enjoyed the conversational style the author adopts. Prayers of my Mother will transform the way you think about God and yourself, the way you pray, and the way you relate with others. It’s a gift to receive with gratitude, and then pass on.
