Tamera's spunky Sister, Sister character stole the hearts of millions; however, the transition in the public eye from a teenage star to a grown woman with a family and thriving career wasn't easy.

Then, through gumption and grit, she decided it would. By harnessing her inner strength, Tamera stopped letting other people define her, tapped into her faith, and tossed away negativity to hone her own happiness and create a unique path forward for herself. She imparts her brand of wisdom-her Tameraisms-throughout the book and encourages readers to learn from her journey.In You Should Sit Down for This, Tamera opens up about:● exiling herself from the world of beauty pageants● the pressures of being a teenage star● her struggle with rejection● the craziness of dating later in life● the challenges of balancing family and career● why it's okay for women to hide out in their closets when they just need a few minutes of peace. and much more!In You Should Sit Down for This, Tamera is the fun-loving, wisdom-sharing girlfriend we all need in our lives-one who is always ready to top off your wine! A must-read for Tamera's millions of fans, whether they grew up watching her on Sister Sister and Tia & Tamera, or fell in love with her on The Real, the book is a lighthearted and delightful glimpse into the life of a much-loved actor. Tamera will leave readers feeling liberated and motivated to embrace the highs and lows of growing up in a book that celebrates cookies and the juicy parts of life. You Should Sit Down for This is a much-needed reminder of the magic that can happen when we open our minds and hearts to become the best versions of ourselves.ABOUT TAMERA MOWRY-HOUSLEYTamera Mowry-Housley is an Emmy award-winning host, actress, producer, and entrepreneur who has captivated audiences for over 20 years.

According to a recent article in Reuters, life expectancy fell once again in 2021, but of note is the fact that suicide related deaths were the third leading contributor to the decline in life expectancy for men. The CDC states that there is a death by suicide every 11 minutes. These facts are jaw dropping, but there is a solution and a way to improve your brain health. Dr. Daniel Emina, a psychiatrist and associate medical director of Amen Clinics, and Rick Lawrence, the general editor of the #1 bestselling Jesus-Centered Bible and host of the podcast Paying Ridiculous Attention to Jesus, have collaborated to end the epidemic in their book The Suicide Solution: Finding Your Way Out of the Darkness. Throughout The Suicide Solution, the authors use computer hardware and software as metaphors for the body’s biology and psychology to show how suicide is generally the culmination of a malfunction or failure of these two systems. Dr. Emina and Lawrence also include a vast array of simple, daily habits that enhance brain health—from walking barefoot outside to naming our negative self-stories. About Rick LawrenceLike everyone else, I usually introduce myself by listing what I do, rather than describing what's most important to me. So I'll take the road less traveled and answer this question first: “What do you stand for?”I stand for the mission of Jesus in the world, not because it's the Christian thing to do, but because I'm captured and conquered by His heart...The truth that overshadows everything in my life is simple: I am ruined by Jesus and ruined for Jesus. I mean, my love for Jesus, and my pursuit of Him, infiltrates every aspect of my identity. He is my raw necessity—most days, I'm desperate for Him in the same way a man crawling through the desert is desperate for water.Under that overshadowing truth, I'm a husband to Bev, a spitfire Irish/Italian wife, and father to two delightful girls, Lucy and Emma. Every living thing in our home was female until a certain brutish male cat joined our all-girl pet lineup.I'm Executive Director of Vibrant Faith—we come alongside ministry leaders to resource, train, coach, and conduct large-scale research projects. We have a rich history in the church, living out the vision of our founder, Dr. Merton Strommen. I invite you to “taste and see” what we're doing at VibrantFaith.org. I'm an author of 40 books and curriculums, and a speaker, ministry leader, and trainer. For three decades I led the youth ministry resourcing and training mission of Group Publishing, and was Executive Editor of GROUP Magazine. While there, I helped launch a line of books and resources for adults called “Jesus-Centered.”I'm also the creator and host of a podcast called Paying Ridiculous Attention to Jesus, now in its sixth season.http://ricklawrence.com
