Role of a Lifetime: Reflections on Faith, Family and Significant Living,
by James Brown
Join us as literary scholar E. Ethelbert Miller has a frank discussion with network sports broadcaster, James Brown, about his new book, Role of a Lifetime: Reflections on Faith, Family and Significant Living.
In this compelling book, James reveals a different side of his character. Brown rose from a middle-class home to earn a scholarship to Harvard and a chance at a professional sports career before moving on to broadcast journalism. Part memoir and part self-help, this book draws on James's lessons from his faith and life experiences to guide readers to find fulfillment and significance. He offers values and encouragement to others of all generations, assisting them in their search for meaning in navigating a world that increasingly promotes transient values, if any at all. His message that shortcuts and gimmicks are counterproductive to a person's success provides hope that there is a God who cares about them and their futures.
This is a not to be missed event! JB will sign books after the discussion. (Ages 14 to adults)
No RSVP Required | FREE

Media coverage of JB's memoir, Role of a Lifetime: Reflections on Faith, Family and Significant Living:
"Brown explores how he found his "role in life" and advises readers on how to discover their own.... [he] hopes his book lets readers find encouragement, inspiration, or wisdom in the anecdotes from his own journey."
"What I discovered was that the way you picked yourself up from even the most devastating setbacks was by using the three tools my parents had instilled in me: commitment, a strong work ethic and faith, the keys to integrity in any field. Without them, I would never have found my way to the broadcast booth, to the job I love."
"My 3 Keys to Integrity", an interview with James Brown by Guideposts
"The article I had the most fun editing this month was James Brown's, sports anchor for the NFL on CBS and host of this year's Super Bowl coverage... This year when I settle in to watch the Super Bowl, I will feel a personal connection to the coverage."
