It is also a tribute to Elliott’s devout grandmother, Mrs. Rosa Brown, along with his family. He hopes that this book will offer enlightenment, self-help tools, inspiration, as well as a clearer perspective on how to make the best choices for our lives.
Elliott was born in Chicago, Illinois to Reverend and Mrs. Elliott and Elsie Lyons and raised by his grandparents Mr. and Mrs. Spencer and Rosa Brown in Galveston, Texas. He is a survivor of three near fatal car wrecks, three near death drowning encounters and escape from the ghetto violence crime life. He was given a second chance opportunity to begin a new life. This was the “defining moment” in Elliott’s life, with the acceptance of the call to the ministry in 1968. He understood that God had a greater plan and purpose for his life and would often say that, “God uses ordinary people to do extraordinary things.”
He earned his Bachelor of Arts degree from Paul Quinn College in Waco, Texas and Master of Divinity degree from the Interdenominational Theological Center in Atlanta, Georgia. He holds numerous awards and certificates which include certification in Clinical Pastoral Education-Commissioner’s Award of Outstanding Service / DHR – Substance Abuse and Offender Rehabilitation Counseling Certification – MAC (Masters Addiction Counselor) and CCCJS (Clinically Certified Criminal Justice Specialist), by National Forensic Association and National Board of Addiction Examiners. He is a current member of Cambridge Who’s Who Honor Society. He recorded his first CD entitled, “Songs of Inspiration” in 2007.

He retired, after 30 years of service from the Department of Human Resources receiving an award for faithful service in 2008. In February of 2013, he completed his retirement after 4 years of part time service as a consultant with the Developmentally Disabled, serving as a Public Relations Officer. He is an author, having published several books entitled, After Retirement: A New Chapter of Life and Effective Communication Through the Gift of Listening. He has recently completed the writing of his third book entitled, “Defining Moments” On The Journey of Life (2015 Xlibris Publishing).
