    The Spiritual Fragrance of a Woman: The Fragrance that Attracts the Right Man by Jerone L. Davison is Sweeping the Christian Market in Record Breaking Time

    jerone-raiders.jpg 

    DisilgoldSOUL Magazine 5 Star Review: The Spiritual Fragrance of a Woman: The Fragrance that Attracts the Right Man by Jerone L. Davison

    Article and review by Heather Covington
    Editor of DisilgoldSOUL
    President of the YOUnity Guild of America
    A PHENOMENON OF THIS ERA! JERONE L. DAVISON HAS ARRIVED!
     
    It’s only been less than one month since “The Spiritual Fragrance of a Woman: The Fragrance that Attracts the Right Man” by Jerone L. Davison was released in 2007 and already, his entire first print run has astronomically sold out at just one event with over 500 guests and recently at another posh upscale Cali event totalling over 1500 books sold to date!

    These are the kind of figures that have publishers ringing to negotiate a major book deal, but Jerone L. Davison, a business and family man, is clearly taking his journey to the top with spiritual  guidance, support from tens of thousands of friends, family and new fans he meets daily on his growing Spiritual Fragrance of a Woman National Book Tour. In fact, he is updating his site soon at SpiritualFragrance.org time permitting. This is how busy his schedule is today.

    The ladies want to know who is this Jerone L. Davison? On Blacknews.com, you may find a brief intro to the man people are calling, “THE NEXT INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER!”

    A motivational speaker, he owns a powerful voice as prominent and most requested as motivational speaker-Les Brown, National Syndicated Radio Host-Michael Baisden, Amber Books Publisher- Tony Rose, Director- Rel Dowdell, and Networking Guru- George C. Fraser. It’s his powerful message and strong advice on attracting the right man that has won over new fans of his work.

    A very young minister, folks may wonder where does he find so many years of wisdom in just the 7 months he took to write “Spiritual Fragrance of a Woman,” but if you comb through his website, there are over 10 more books in the making. It is clear that Jerone L. Davison is a writer built with the power of longevity and very passionate about his work.

    Media agrees, it’s certainly Jerone L. Davison’s time to shine. He’s brilliantly reaching folks through their untapped olfactory senses, and what relationship gurus will say is the strongest sense. Yet, many people in relationships have ignored this sense, thus suffering break-ups, divorce and even domestic violence.  Could Jerone L. Davison be holding the key to keeping couples together?

    Jerone L. Davison is so masterful in helping women to find their spiritual fragrance in his new book with tips,  heartfelt advice and a powerful voice, he boldly includes an “Attractiveness Test” and many references to biblical quotes that will raise a brow, stir feelings one has been neglecting and overall, restore each reader’s soul to turn on that fragrance that attracts a mate.

    Don’t be surprised if you hear testimonies from many women admitting that they failed “The Attractiveness Test” for the first time as cladly stated, “Spiritual Virgins and/or Spiritual Haters.” You too, will be reformed by Minister Jerone L. Davison’s new self-help book.

    Instead of placing his own face on the cover when asked, he says he placed a perfume bottle and rose which guess what, all women are attracted to, but that is not all. When you flip the cover, there is his understated photo. Is this small photo enough to stir up long lines at upcoming booksignings when so many readers are stirred by sight?

    According to event photos, women of all ages have been caught embracing the former NFL player for the Oakland Raiders and San Francisco 49ers turned novelist for how much THE CONTENT of his book has inspired their lives.
     
    Don’t forget the respect women have for the family man with 15 years of marriage and 5 adorable children as mentioned in the book. Not only can he talk it, but walk it when it comes to claiming the title as America’s new “Relationship Guru.” Even men are taking note.

    A male reader named Kris states,

    “I  was reading the info. on your book from a forward-Black PR.Com. I have read a million self help books,some help, others were just a repeat of what I already knew. However your book, cut to the core! Everything you stated hit home.

    Often times my prayer was “God why so many saved women still single?” I seen women who were holding on, they got tired of waiting and Married unsaved men. Its very difficult in this time and day, to hold on. I don’t care how you preach it, a healthy, whole woman gets tired of yet holding on!!

    I have been kept by God for years now, and still no prospect. In my forties, fine, enjoy working out & raising a young man alone! I have cried a many a night, Lord please help.

    Finally a book to help with insight! Thanks for shedding light to a very dark & dismal area.

    God Bless, Kris.”

    Has Jerone L. Davison created one of the most sought books on the market of this era?

    A genius with his first published book, he’s created a blueprint for women to seek that right fragrance from internal cleansing and healing to physical rejuvenation and complete resoration of all wounds apparent on the outside that detract a mate, but she may not know it.

    He has masterfully created a embodiment of work that is a treasure and companion for the virtuous woman seeking the answers to her questions from a man certified with multiple degrees in ministry as well.

    People are comparing his writing style to the greatness of Rick Warren’s, “A Purpose Driven Life”. Upon interviewing Jerone Davison, he was elated to share that The New York Christian Times, Senior Editor, Karen Cox will run a  feature story in the publication circulated to over 52,000 readers in New York, “the Mecca of Literary Civilization.”  Essence Magazine also contacted Jerone L. Davison recently and we’ll be sure to follow-up on his debut in the publication reaching millions.

    As a new YOUnity Guild Award Winning Best New Contemporary Spiritual Author of the Year, his reign is just getting started.We have photos, an exclusive premiere interview,and never revealed secrets of building a relationship with longevity.

    A NEW REAL RELATIONSHIP GURU WITH AN ACTION PLAN HAS ARRIVED! AND– IT’S SOMETHING LIKE A PHENOMENON!

    Jerone L. Davison is an author to watch!

    DISILGOLDSOUL REVIEW :Is Keston Karter the Millionaire Calendar Man? by Heather Covington

    When  Trinidad and Tobago born “Ladies Hearthrob,”Keston Karter debuted his self entitled, “Keston Karter 2007″ Calendar, sales accrued with dynamic success in a relative short amount of time, and haven’t stopped. In fact, he’s already working on the completion of his 2008 calendar.

    It’s no secret. Everyone is buzzing about Keston Karter. His exclusive full feature interview is featured on the DisilgoldSOUL Magazine Celebrity Interview Link at www.Disilgold.com. The founder asked over 50 questions over a 2 hour interview. His responses were very intelligent and well spoken.

    Some of Keston’s answers to various questions were not published.

    Keston Karter is fast on his way to becoming a movie star. Perhaps, the excellent designing of his latest website over at, www.KestonKarter.com by the Prodigal Sun, website designer of celebrities and movies, brings out his true-to-life charming personality that radiates through every eye-catching photo and why he’s in demand for guest appearances at events.

     Keston is truly focused in 2007, and ready to take multi-faceted industries by storm with sheer intelligence, talent and extraordinary looks to match.

     He motivates others to reach their goals as a man who once struggled to pay his way through school on his own. His everyday rise to creative freedom has been a challenge, but 2007 may prove differently.

    However, don’t cast Keston off as a model only. His passion for   acting, modeling, commercials, independent film and print work create an equal demand for the  DisilgoldSOUL Magazine predicted”Millionaire Calendar Man.”

     His film credits  to date include roles in One in the Chamber and the Inside Man.

     With so many daily sales of the Keston Karter Calendar, one wonders if his new passion will steal away from another passion as a musician.

    You may even remember Keston Karter as a former Apollo  performer. He is the lead musician in the New York Adlib Steel Drum Orchestra.

    If this is not enough to  buy Keston Karter’s calendar,  what the ladies will find endearing about Keston Karter’s calendar are the quote tributes featured  from people like Dr. Maya Angelou and Langston Hughes. Keston already has the right formula for success by paying tribute to his mentors.

    Male print models and fashion conscious gentleman will get inspired style-wise as well.

    Keston does wear GQ styled fashions at his best, leaving room for the ladies and men to appreciate a Black Man on the rise and destined for success.

    Keston Karter calendars are expected to sell out, and we highly suggest you buy a couple as gifts, and just in time for Mother’s Day before they are all sold out. Featured are never before seen photos. One of our own YOUnity Reviewers during a Friday powwow walked away with DisilgoldSOUL Magazine’s 2007 Keston Karter Calendar, and all we have to remember Keston is his website over at www.KestonKarter.com.

    Feast your eyes ladies…”God’s Gift to Women” has arrived.  Watch Keston Karter rise to the top!
