How to Keep Lifting When Life Keeps Life-ing

Releasing on April 24, 2025

As it does for us all, life got busy for me.  In my quest to stay active, I reached out to his cousin, Tierany for some help in her area of expertise—fitness and body-building. Tierany M. Chretien was the 2014 IFBB (International Federation of Bodybuilding & Fitness) champion. Some of her certifications include ACE (American Council on Exercise), AFAA (Aerobics and Fitness Associates of America), ACSM (American College of Sports Medicine), IFPA (International Fitness Professionals Association), and NASM (National Academy of Sports Medicine) Together, Tierany and I created an easy to read and easy to follow plan to help you keep working out when life keeps life-ing.

My Story

You can call me "Greg".  I go by my middle name because my father called "dibs" on Lawrence and of course he got the first pick. I was born in San Antonio, Texas., although I spent most of my childhood in Austin, Texas where I graduated from Lyndon Baines Johnson High School. After high school I attended the University of North Texas in Denton, Texas and graduated with a degree in Journalism

​

​After finally dedicating my life to serving the Lord at the timely age of thirty, I have served on the writing ministries at Friendship West Baptist Church in Dallas, Texas and at Covenant Church in Colleyville, TX.  These two organizations allowed me to express myself and they both encouraged me to take on such an audacious task as writing a novel.

How To Keep Lifting When Life Keeps Life-ing

IN review

What can I say about this new and provocative author Lawrence "Greg" Chretien's novel other than "Engaging!"  From the initial pages to the last, this author takes you on a compelling journey of a young man who you purposefully and justifiably dislike.  As a 24 year veteran Social Worker, I often look for the redeeming qualities in all people, but up until the last pages, I literally couldn't find a reason to like "J.D. Jr." He is spoiled, self centered, irrational and a degenerate at best, but then the author, slowly and masterfully made me feel concern and empathy for this "baby-boy like man!"

 

 In fact most of the characters had both likable and flawed traits that made you want to connect with them especially the character "Shante" whom as a social worker I've seen in my office too many times to share! 

 

Mr. Chretien, how dare you make me love this book and not be able to put it down!  I hope and highly recommend a series of this novel because as a avid reader, I want to see the journey of these characters that I'm now invested in. 

Kudos Lawrence!
