Rev. Run, also known as Joseph “Run” Simmons, recently released his book “Words of Wisdom: Daily Affirmations of Faith.”

Known for over two decades as one of the most respected pioneers of hip-hop, and a founding member of the ground-breaking group Run-DMC, Reverend Run now celebrates his faith and shares it with a newly emerging hip-hop generation.

From what started from a few emails to family members and friends, inspirational phrases that Simmons sent out had spread by word of mouth, causing him to publish the book.

Rev. Run shares: “The Lord is Good! I cannot express how Important it is to trust in Him!”, “Without faith it is impossible to please God!”, “God intervenes in our situations when we commit to the Lord our Children, our marriages and our personal relationships.”

Today Rev. Run is the star of his own hit TV show “Run’s House” on MTV and new author of “Words of Wisdom: Daily Affirmations of Faith.” In the midst of TV shows in which foul language and disrespect are applauded, Rev. Run brings family values to TV.

Cursing and bad behaviour simply won't be tolerated in Run's House.

Rev. Run shares his words of wisdom at the end of each episode with more than 32 million viewers, whom the show reached in its first season, making the show one of the top-rated on the MTV Network.

O Magazine editor, Gayle King shares, “Words of Wisdom always seems to come at just the right time for whatever is going on in my life.”
