Meet J C SERIOUS, 1 of 12 authors with featured book covers in NYC-TIME SQUARE for the month of SEPTEMBER

         

September Author Circle Spotlight

Meet 1 of 12 Authors Presented by Aspiring Authors Magazine and SC Book Gal & Friends

Meet J C Serious | Jonathan Coleman

Author of A Father’s Love

Aspiring Authors Magazine and SC Book Gal & Friends are proud to spotlight Jonathan Coleman, also known as J C Serious, as one of the featured authors in the September Author Circle: Meet 1 of 12 Authors.

Jonathan Coleman is a proud Black father, songwriter, author, minister in the Lord’s church, and man of faith. Raised in the Christian faith, Jonathan carries a heart for people, a gift for encouragement, and a personality that leaves others feeling loved, uplifted, and often laughing. At 45 years old, he embraces his roles with humility, purpose, and passion — especially his most cherished role as a father.

For Jonathan, fatherhood is not just a title. It is a calling, a responsibility, and a reflection of love that continues through every season of life. His daughter is his heart, and that deep love is at the center of his powerful book, A Father’s Love.


About the Author: Jonathan Coleman

Jonathan Coleman is a man who leads with love, faith, humor, and sincerity. As a minister, songwriter, and author, he uses his voice and life experiences to connect with others in meaningful ways.

He genuinely loves people and believes in making others feel seen, heard, and valued. Whether through ministry, music, writing, or simple conversation, Jonathan brings warmth, laughter, and encouragement into the spaces he enters.

His journey as a father deeply shapes his writing. Through his personal experiences, emotional growth, and spiritual reflection, Jonathan has created a book that speaks directly to the heart of fatherhood.


Featured Book

A Father’s Love

By Jonathan Coleman

A Father’s Love is a deeply personal and emotionally driven journey that explores the unbreakable bond between a father and his children. It speaks to the sacrifice, pain, love, strength, vulnerability, and emotional complexity that many fathers experience but do not always have the space to express.

This book is especially powerful for fathers who have loved deeply, struggled silently, made mistakes, fought to reconnect, or carried the weight of feeling unseen while still trying to lead with love.

Through heartfelt storytelling, faith, reflection, vulnerability, and real-life experiences, Jonathan Coleman reminds readers that true fatherhood is not defined by perfection, money, status, or even physical presence alone. Instead, fatherhood is rooted in sacrifice, emotional connection, spiritual growth, healing, and the refusal to stop loving one’s children despite obstacles, misunderstandings, separation, or broken relationships.


A Story of Love, Pain, Healing, and Resilience

Throughout A Father’s Love, Jonathan shares moments of emotional pain, abandonment, disappointment, growth, self-discovery, and hope. His words open the door to conversations many families need but often avoid.

The book also sheds light on the challenges many Black fathers face in society, relationships, co-parenting, identity, and generational struggles. Jonathan does not write from a place of perfection. He writes from a place of truth.

His message is clear and powerful: A father’s love never truly disconnects.

Even when life creates distance, silence, conflict, or separation, the bond between a father and child can remain strong. That love has the power to restore, inspire, and transform generations.


Why This Book Matters

A Father’s Love is more than a book about parenting. It is a testimony of resilience, redemption, identity, faith, emotional healing, and the power of love that survives through pain, time, and life’s unexpected turns.

This book encourages fathers to keep fighting for their children emotionally, spiritually, and mentally. It also helps sons and daughters better understand the heart of a father who genuinely loves them, even when the journey has been complicated.

Jonathan’s writing invites readers to reflect on broken family dynamics, communication, pride, forgiveness, healing, and purpose. His story speaks to anyone who has experienced separation, misunderstanding, or the longing for reconciliation within the family.


A Message for Fathers and Families

At its core, A Father’s Love reminds fathers that their presence, prayers, words, effort, and love matter. It reminds children that fathers have hearts too — hearts that can hurt, hope, grieve, grow, and still love deeply.

This book is for:

  • Fathers who are trying to reconnect

  • Children seeking to understand their father’s heart

  • Families navigating healing and forgiveness

  • Men learning how to express love and vulnerability

  • Readers who believe in redemption, growth, and restoration

Jonathan Coleman gives voice to the emotional journey of fatherhood in a way that is honest, heartfelt, and necessary.

This Saturday, the heart of New York City will shine a little brighter as Justin Dorsey, author of A Time of Repentance Journal, is featured in a special Times Square Author Spotlight.

This powerful moment is more than a billboard appearance — it is a celebration of faith, testimony, obedience, and transformation. Justin Dorsey is using his personal journey with God to encourage others to pause, reflect, repent, heal, and walk boldly into the purpose God has predestined for their lives.

📖 About the Book: A Time of Repentance Journal

A Time of Repentance Journal is a faith-based interactive journal designed to help readers document their own spiritual journey with God.

This journal is more than a blank space for writing. It is a sacred place for reflection, prayer, honesty, surrender, and growth. Through its pages, readers are invited to examine their hearts, record their prayers, reflect on scripture, and capture the lessons God is teaching them along the way.

At its core, A Time of Repentance Journal reminds readers that repentance is not about shame — it is about returning to God.

It is about transformation. It is about healing. It is about obedience. It is about purpose. It is about walking with God one step at a time.

🙏 A Personal Testimony Turned Into a Tool for Others

For Justin Dorsey, this journal was born from personal testimony and his own journey with God.

Every believer has a path to walk. Every person has moments of reflection, correction, surrender, and renewal. Justin understands that the walk with God is not always perfect, but it is always purposeful when we remain open to His guidance.

Through A Time of Repentance Journal, Justin encourages others to record their process, document their growth, and recognize the hand of God in every season.

This journal serves as a reminder that repentance is not the end of the story — it is often the beginning of a deeper relationship with God.

🌱 Reflect. Repent. Record. Return to God.

The message of A Time of Repentance Journal can be captured in four powerful words:
Reflect

Take time to examine your heart, your choices, your mindset, and your relationship with God.
Repent

Turn back to God with sincerity, humility, and a desire to grow closer to Him.
Record

Write down your prayers, scriptures, revelations, lessons, and personal encounters with God.
Return

Come back to the Father, walk in alignment, and continue forward in faith and purpose.

This simple yet powerful message makes the journal a meaningful companion for anyone who desires to deepen their spiritual walk.
