Tyler Perry Buys Home for Gospel Singer LaShun Pace’s Ailing Mother…

Hello World,

What I love about Terry Perry, more than his movies and televisions programs, is his unmatched generosity! Over and over again, you hear about Tyler giving to people he does not know. And it’s not like he is the one who is reporting his charitable acts either. Those who have been recipients of his kindness are the ones who are telling what he has done for them.

And not only is Tyler good to those he doesn’t know, he is just as giving to those he does know! 11Alive is reporting that Tyler has made the “final wish” of the mother of his friend gospel singer LaShun Pace, who starred in his first play, “I Know I’ve Been Changed,” 20 years ago come true!

From 11 Alive:

It brings Pace to tears, thinking about what he’s done for her, and her mother Betty Ann Pace, who has stage V kidney failure.

“They gave her four days to a week to live. And she’s still living today,” LaShun said.

Recently, her mother met Perry, and she told him her last wish was to become a homeowner.

“Before I die, I need a home for me and my daughters,” LaShun said, relaying her mother’s dream.

Thanks to Perry’s generosity, the dream became a reality. He surprised 80-year-old Betty with a home.

“I love you,” Betty cried. “I thank God for you.”

A video captured the moment they pulled up to the new home.

“Glory, God!,” she screamed. “Hallelujah.”

Below is a video of the big day when Ms. Pace learned that she would be a homeowner! And y’all, there some sangin’ involved. With the Anointed Pace Sisters, that’s a given 🙂

To God be the glory!

Stellar Award-Winning Gospel Artist James Fortune Turns Page on Domestic Abuse & Divorce, Pens New Book!

Hello World,

I believe the God we serve is a God of second, third, fourth, etc. chances if we repent from what we’ve done wrong and attempt to live on a righteous path. Stellar Award- winning and two-time Grammy Award-nominated Gospel artist James Fortune says he is on righteous path following a devastating derailment.

Along with ELOHAI International Publishing & Media, Fortune has announced his first book Destiny Derailed: How to Get Your Life Back on Track by Leveraging your Past and Repurposing your Pain into Power. He chronicles his journey of healing and restoration after a major derailment —public scrutiny following domestic violence that occurred in his home and a subsequent divorce — in 2014. Destiny Derailed is a self-help memoir designed to empower every person who has been knocked off course, experienced loss, let themselves down, or thought that a situation they’ve experienced disqualified them from God’s promises. Destiny Derailed aids in giving readers the encouragement and biblical foundation needed to navigate any tough situation by seeking and believing in God’s promises.

With the recent release of his album “The Collection,” which debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Gospel Chart, recent marriage and newborn baby, Fortune is a testament to the restoration power of Jesus Christ and proof that a destiny derailed is not a destiny denied. He hopes it is the first of many great informative and life-changing books.

Praise for Destiny Derailed:

“Instead of hiding in the shadows, James most effectively ministers from the broken place and
disarms devils by pointing the finger of responsibility at the one where it all began—himself. Let
this work bless you and teach you the most valuable lesson of all: saying yes to God DOESN’T
eliminate your frailties-it simply gives God permission to get glory out of them.”

Pastor John Gray, Relentless Church

“This book is so full of healing. James literally poured out of a beautiful place of transparency. By
the time you are done, you will be walking in complete healing! Forgiveness will set in, and
shame will be completely gone. Your scars will be turned to stars. People with the worst past can
indeed make the best futures.”

Real Talk Kim, Church of the Harvest, Fayetteville

“Whether you experience a private or public catastrophic decision, disastrous failure,
or a heinous attack on your life, when you are a child of God, your greatest setback
can be the precursor to your greatest comeback.”

Pastor Charles Jenkins, Fellowship Chicago

David & Tamela Mann Share Story of Their 30-Year Romance & Secrets to Love and Marriage in New Memoir Set to Release Nov. 13!

Hello World,

Two-time NAACP Image Award-Winning Actor and Comedian David Mann and his wife, Grammy® Award-Winning Recording Artist Tamela Mann, are celebrating their 30-year love story with the release of their new memoir, Us Against the World: Our Secrets to Love, Marriage, and Family (W Publishing/Harper Collins Christian), available November 13, 2018.

David and Tamela first met as teens when they attended an after-school chorus class. Tamela heard David and his friends Kirk Franklin and Darrell Blair (now pastor of the couple) sing; in those days, the boys were known as the “Humble Hearts.” Tamela went on to a different high school, but impressed them with her voice. She and David became best friends, then married, and eventually began singing with Franklin and the large ensemble he created, The Family.

With a relationship spanning more than 30 years, David and Tamela are just as, if not more than, happily in love as they were in the early days of life together. In their new book, Us Against the World: Our Secrets to Love, Marriage and Family, the superstar couple who has delighted and inspired audiences through music, plays, movies, and the television series’ Meet the Browns, TheManns, and Mann & Wife, candidly share a wonderfully inspiring, funny, and up-close look at their lives while offering hope and practical advice for building a strong relationship, marriage and family.

“We’ve always been transparent about our relationship and family with fans. In our first book we’ll tell our whole story and share our secrets to a successful marriage,” said David. “Our marriage is a top priority and our greatest accomplishment. We’re excited to share what we’ve learned about doing life together as a couple and how to fully love your spouse,” said Tamela.

Highlights of Us Against the World include:

  • Shares tips to help couples grow in love and commitment to each other.
  • No holds-barred honesty gives hope, no matter how difficult things may be.
  • Insight into how two successful people-built careers and a family together.
  • Lays out how to experience true unity and fulfillment in marriage.
