Step Into His Greatness:
Book Signing a
Success for Author
Ramelle T. Lee
Walk In God's Peace
an excerpt from the book
Ms.
Ramelle T. Lee is a “Called and Ready Writer.” On Saturday, March 25,
2006, she introduced her first book, “Step Into His
Greatness,” at her book signing. The event was a grand celebration held
at her church, Greater Bethlehem Missionary Baptist Church in Detroit,
Michigan. Reverend Randolph Thomas is her pastor.As soon
as her book was printed, Ramelle’s church, family, and friends, were
supportive of it. However, she wanted to have a celebration that
everyone could enjoy.
After
all, this book was written for the Glory of God. Therefore, over 160
invitations were sent for her book signing.
Much
preparation was done for this special event. Ramelle
displayed
items from her poetry from God. She has published 22 anointed poems.
They can be purchased in single print or in a selected decorative
frame. It was a wonderful opportunity to showcase and share what God
has done to minister to the hearts of His people. At this celebration,
Ramelle gave each guest her poem, “Chase the Dream Maker.” The
atmosphere was full of excitement.
Her
pastor, Reverend Thomas, asked Ramelle to have remarks. The highlight
was when she spoke about her mother, Mrs. Barbara Lee, and the support
she gave to ensure that this book was published. It was an extremely
heart touching moment for Ramelle. She remarked, “It is such a blessing
to have my mother watch this dream become a reality!”
Mrs.
Wanda J. Burnside, the president of The
Called and Ready Writers, also attended this book signing, along with
her husband Mr. Simmie L. Burnside.
Ramelle’s twin brother, Rev. Lovell Lee and his wife, Annette Lee were
there. Other relatives from Wayne and Ypsilanti, Michigan were in
attendance.
Special
thanks and acknowledgment goes to many dear people. Without the hard
work of Ms. Tommie Legge and Ms. Barbara Reynolds, who provided great
support and kept everything running smoothly at the book table, this
event would not have been such a complete success. Ramelle’s dear
friends served as hostesses. They were wonderful to help serve
everyone. Many thanks is extended to Yolanda F. Rodgers, Tonya Taylor,
Jennifer Taylor, Beatrice Broadnax and Barbara Pritchett for their
assistance.
The
church’s janitor, Mr. George Hunter, was in charge of the room
arrangements in the Reverend Jesse Mack Fellowship Hall. Ramelle deeply
appreciates her church family, friends, and relatives for supporting her
writing ministry for God.
The
color scheme was red and gold taken from the cover of her book.
Mrs.
Gail Mayberry, also on the board of The
Called and Ready Writers and an author, designed a beautiful gift basket
honoring Ramelle’s accomplishment. Gail titled it, “Ramelle’s Comfort
Collection.” This basket was a show stopper! Gail is the founder of
“Basket Favors.”
God
blessed Ramelle to have many make contributions to her book
signing. Mrs. Lula White’s cakes
were
delicious. She artistically displayed a photograph of Ramelle on one
cake and a picture of her book on the other. Mrs. Frances Pippins
donated four fruit and nut loaf cakes to enhance the food table.
Everyone enjoyed this added treat. Mrs. Zelda Jones, the food caterer,
prepared nine large elegant salads of tuna, chicken, and seafood pasta.
Mrs. Louise Johnson furnished the festive punch for this event.
Over 70
digital pictures were taken by Ms. Barbara Nichols. She also provided
instant picture proofs so that Ramelle immediately could share them with
her guests and family. It was especially exciting how Barbara captured
all of her Kodak moments on a disk which she titled, “Step Into His
Greatness by Author Ramelle T. Lee.” This is something that Ramelle
will always treasure.
In
conclusion, about 50 books were sold. It was amazing to see the long
lines of people waiting to purchase her powerful prophetic message book
Step Into His Greatness. Ramelle’s book continues to be sold in her
city and state.
God has
opened doors for her book to be sold across the United States. Step Into
His Greatness has made its way to Freeport Grand Bahamas, and Winnipeg,
Manitoba (Canada).
