A Century and Some Change: My Life Before the President Called My Name $0.01 President-elect Barack Obama reflected on the life of Ann Nixon Cooper on Tuesday, November 4, 2008, singling her out of millions of voters, he said, because she was “born just a generation past slavery; a time when there were no cars on the road or planes in the sky, when someone like her couldn’t vote for two reasons—because she was a woman and because of the color of her skin.” Energized by this history-making presidential campaign, Mrs. Cooper now shares her story, her life before the president called her name, in her own voice, with the assistance of bestselling author Karen Grigsby Bates. Mrs. Cooper is the beloved matriarch of a large and accomplished family who live throughout the country, and a long-celebrated elder in the city of Atlanta, Georgia, where she raised her children and has lived most of her long and extraordinary life. She was born and raised in Bedford County, Tennessee, near Nashville, on January 9, 1902. Her father was a tenant farmer, and her mother worked at home, taking care of the children. She met her husband, Dr. Albert Berry Cooper II, while he attended Meharry Medical College in Nashville. They settled in his hometown of Atlanta, where he established a successful practice in dentistry. When president-elect Obama referred to her in his speech, she became a celebrity, sought after by media from all over the world. In Mrs. Cooper’swords, “All of a sudden, everyone wanted to talkto me. . . . It was nice they were interested, I guess,but I wasn’t so thrilled that media and ordinaryfolk were acting as if the only exciting thing I’d everdone was vote for a black man for president. . . .I’d had a life before CNN and the rest ‘discovered’me.” And she is going to tell you about it. |

A Lady by Choice: What Every Girl Should Know About Bridging the Gap Between Adolescence and Womanhood $19.99 Author Johnnie Payne discusses the kind of private matters that many young ladies wish their parents had discussed with them before they had to confront them on their own — issues such as the care and cleaning of the female body, the first menstruation, controlling weight, eating disorders, self-esteem, the do’s and don’ts of dating and others. A Lady by Choice is a Bible-based book of instruction and manners that profiles such figures as Esther, Ruth and Mary.Payne deals with such subjects as weight, eating disorders, self-esteem, skin care, wardrobe, posture and many others. Payne is the founder of Fruition Ministries. The workshops and seminars assist young ladies in their development from adolescence to womanhood. She has taught personal development in both the Los Angeles and Pasadena school systems. Payne is familiar with the pitfalls that young ladies fall into and God has called her to assist teens, especially troubled teens, along the road to a healthier and happier life. Here’s a quote from a chapter on Christian Dating:”You have to set firm limits concerning physical contact. You have to make some kind of decision about what, if any, touching is allowed, even down to holding hands. Some guys like to touch and if you aren’t real careful they’ll touch you in ways that they shouldn’t. You have to be firm from the start. It should never come to this, but if the young man’s hands start to roam, that is the time to explain that this is something you won’t tolerate.” |
