Publisher Description
Stars of MTV's Run's House--dubbed "the new Cosby family"--celebrate family values in this inspiring guide to modern parenting
Despite being a hip-hop icon, an ordained minister, and a reality TV star, Rev Run's greatest accomplishment has been raising his six children--Angela, Vanessa, JoJo, Diggy, Russy and Miley--with his wife Justine. Their journey has been captured on Run's House, a show that celebrates--finally--a reality TV family that is functional instead of dysfunctional. In an age marked by shallow materialism and fragmented families, Rev Run and Justine have inspired millions of viewers by teaching old-fashioned family values applied with a hip-hop twist. In Take Back Your Family, Rev Run and Justine celebrate the role of parents and share their secrets to raising a respectful and loving family that can enjoy the good times while surviving the hard ones.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Former Run DMC front man turned MTV superstar and father extraordinaire, Rev Run offers his personal insights and those of his wife, Justine, about family life in today's fast-paced and money-driven society. On the surface, the book appears to be the typical TV spin-off memorabilia. But the recording and messages are powerful and offer a raw honesty lacking in most of today's family guidance books. Rev Run is no stranger to the recording studio, and his knack for captivating an audience is on display here. His voice is strong and commanding, yet Run never speaks down to his listeners. Justine also gives a straightforward yet personal reading, and the result is less a recorded audiobook than it is a deeply profound talk among the closest of friends. A Penguin hardcover.
Customer Reviews
Remembrance & Unconditional Love
I am very happy that I purchased this ebook written by Rev Run & his wonderful wife Justine Simmons. It shows that this is one family that is very much down to earth while excelling in their multi-talented family and expansive careers.
Rev. Run & Justine Simmons have proved that a well-rounded and close knit family based on GOD and HIS Teachings coupled with loving communication can produce wonders and success for all family members no matter where they grow to be for themselves in their lives.
I do hope we get an opportunity to see how well everyone has advanced in life with another reality show as theirs was a truly rewarding to everyone.
Rev Run & Justine thanks so much for your Remembrance & Unconditional Love as demonstrated in this book of parenting and aiding your children to grow into better citizens and family members.
GOD BLESS You All and I send you my unconditional love as well.
