Press Release Body = May 15, 2006 - New York - For more than two decades, you've
heard his music and name. First as Joseph "Run" Simmons, one of the most respected
pioneers of hip-hop and a founding member of the ground-breaking group Run-DMC. Then
as Rev. Run the man who celebrated his faith and shared it with a newly emerging
hip-hop generation. Today Rev. Run is the star of his own hit TV show "Run's House"

Everyday, all across America, millions of people are on a search for spiritual
foundation, emotional connection and inspirational information to help them through
life's' many trials and tribulations. Now Simmons has gathered some inspirational
phrases into one or two short practical passages as positive building blocks in
readers' lives. For example, 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."

WORDS OF WISDOM was born out of Rev. Run's daily two-way pager messages of
inspirational thoughts of the day sent to celeb friends and colleagues such as P.
Diddy, Donald Trump, Venus and Serena Williams. Rev. Run now 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

themselves and to share with loved ones. WORDS OF WISDOM is the perfect way to start
and end your day, and it only takes a minute of your hectic morning or busy
afternoon schedule.

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."
