"Karen Brown-Cooper has crafted a treat for any who pause to savor a life that was shaped by and for God. Her growing up years were the soil from which God prepares His servants. The book will demonstrate the value and importance of quality parenting that is strong and loving. You will want to meet the family by the end of the book." - Steve Miller, Trainer, World Team "The love and respect that Karen has for her parents is a beautiful testimony to the kind of people they are. The quality of their lives goes a long way toward explaining the depth and character that the faculty and staff of our seminary observed in her life as well." - Dr. David G. Dunbar President, Biblical Theological Seminary "The clarity of God's Word breathes through almost every page of the book." - Paul Miller, Author, Love Walked Among Us, The Person of Jesus Growing up in a Christian home during the 70's and 80's was not always easy. But the Brown family depended on God's grace to overcome racism, low self-esteem, bullies, and an out of wedlock pregnancy. Dr. and Mrs. Brown, Jr. demonstrated how to be "salt and light," and shared the value of keeping church and family traditions with their children. Learn why their younger daughter, the author, says it was a privilege to grow up Brown. Karen Brown-Cooper has a Master of Divinity from Biblical Theological Seminary in Hatfield, PA.
