Becoming Better Humans
Author Bill Berry
Bill began writing in 1997 but rarely showed examples of his work. Millions of words flowed from his fingers as he traveled the world working as a professional cruise ship entertainer. Now, 25 years later, he’s ready to open the vault. With a focus on allegorical non-fiction and the moments in life that move, his style has been described as “Chicken Soup for the Soul” meets “The Endless Summer.” He currently resides in Saint Petersburg, Florida with his wife and two tuxedos kitties.”
"SUBTLE,
LIKE A TIDAL WAVE"
“Stories That Move” is a collection of compelling, raw tales that document the author’s journey through childhood bullying, harsh family dynamics, near death experiences, and heart pumping adventure. From the first page to the last, you’ll be drawn into the human experience at a depth few authors are able to traverse. And in so doing, you’ll discover things about yourself.
​
This book is like a power-up, it’s filled with experiences, truth, and emotion. And like life, we can’t predict what will be on the next page. As you read you’ll be pushed, you’ll feel empowered, you’ll see your own journey in a new light. And after you’ve reached the end, you’ll find that you’ve grown. In understanding, love, trust, and forgiveness. The humanity revealed in each of these stories will give you a deeper view into yourself.
"FIRE IS A GATE TO THE OTHER SIDE, WE MUST PASS THROUGH TO SEE WHAT LIES BEYOND"
Have you ever watched a fire eater and thought—how do they do that? Or maybe a quiet voice inside you even wondered, Could I ever do something like that?
This book is both an answer to that question, and an invitation.
In this raw and riveting memoir, world-class entertainer Mr. Bill Berry shares his journey from accidental street performer to Guinness World Record-holding sword swallower. You’ll follow him as he masters the ancient art of fire eating, invents never-before-seen stunts, and learns to trust his body in moments where failure isn’t an option.
Recollected from decades of stage experience, and interwoven with eastern philosophy, Embracing the Flame is a profound story of transformation—and a testament to how the unwavering pursuit of passion can rewrite lifes trajectory.
Whether you’re a performer, martial artist, yogi, or just curious about extreme mind-body exploration, this book will invite you to reimagine what’s possible.
