Coach, Passionate Motivator and
Author. He
is currently an Associate Pastor at
Nation of
Christ Believers Christian Center in Dacula, Ga. Coach Bruce is known for his steering messages on finding your purpose and living your passion. His favorite author
which he met
personally is Miles Monroe. Because of his many years as a recognized competitor in Track
& Field and Road Racing, a
mind to compete in life is what he wants to develop in his listeners. On Monday mornings at 9:15 am Coach Bruce conducts the Cup of Mo Coaching and Personal Development Conference Call.
The
call is done in
honor of Betty Jo Ryles-Long his mother.
Growing up in Philadelphia, Pa. under the strong hand of a single mother, he
learned work ethic,
determination, a will to win, and that big
dreams do come true. Momma instilled in
him and his brother Elmer that there is nothing you can’t have if you are willing to work for it.
When momma died November 20, 2014, many of her
wise
statements during rough times of my life began to flood my mind day and night. When the number of them reached over 300 I knew that this
was a witty invention sent by God. Proverbs 8:12 says
“I
wisdom dwell
with prudence and find out knowledge of witty inventions”.
Writing a book
was
not
on the
Coach’s bucket list,
but
he knew there was something special and
unique in these life guiding quotes. The
book
is affectionately called Momma
said…100 life guiding quotes
from a wise
mother. It is a story of a divorced mother raising her two
sons single handed. Parents and
young adults would find it useful as a reference manual
for life. College freshman making decisions without Mom and
Dad need a copy “Momma said…” The quotes are funny but instructional. Some are tough love but
can be
used as a playbook for winning the game called life.
The mission is to get our world to recognize the importance of family values and give Mom the honor, respect and appreciation she deserves. We give a special badge of honor to the
single moms who did it
on their own leaning and depending on God. The 2014 Census, reports that 9.9 million single moms are raising children 18
years of age
and younger. The good news is so many have produced some of our best athletes, entertainers, musicians and politicians. People like Tom Cruise, Bill Clinton, Dr. Ben Carson, Les Brown, Halle Barry,
Jay-Z, Eva Mendes, Eddie Murphy, Christina Aguilera, Kanye West,
Demi Moore, Alicia
Keys, Samuel Jackson, Michael Phelps, Martin Lawrence and Barack Obama all boast of being raised by single moms?
We ask that you help us impact our generation by raising high the banner of the family. The first institution created by God.
"Momma Said" is a great book to remind you of those all-time favorite cautionary catechisms that your mothers use to say. I can’t wait to share this book with my Teenage book club! Mr. Philly Librarian
