Dr. Jeanne Sheffield

Dr. Jeanne Sheffield’s life has transitioned from a professional performer in show business in variety television in Los Angeles to her exciting, always challenging position as founder and director of Southern Grace Place USA located in NW Washington, DC. If you remember the days of variety television or the hit TV series “Here Come The Brides” you saw her as David Soul’s girlfriend or remembered her as one of the original Dean Martin Gold Diggers.” She has fond memories of being a regular on the Glen Campbell “Good Time Hour, the Mac Davis Show, and the Andy Williams Show. Today Dr. Jeanne wears many hats as inspirational singer, composer, voice, piano, character, and etiquette teacher, and author. Her new book, “God Brings Out The Very Best In Me”, is offered for purchase through her web site, SouthernGracePlaceUSA.com, Authorhouse.com and Amazon.com. Dr. Jeanne’s interest in the development of America’s Youth led to a creative position as etiquette columnist for the Collierville Independent Paper and Southaven Press in both the Tennessee and Mississippi regions. During this time she studied to complete her masters degree in Christian counseling and her doctorate in theology from Jacksonville Theological seminary in Jacksonville, Florida. Dr. Jeanne been featured as one of America’s outstanding etiquette teacher’s in Memphis Woman’s Magazine, as well as Parent’s magazine. The mission Dr. Jeanne Sheffield holds in her heart is for parents, their children and teenagers of America and around the world to appreciate the value of her work in both “God’s Best Is Me” Christian and etiquette character studies and her Mom’s collaborating teacher’s guide. She originally created this workbook as a self-enrichment program because of her concern for her inner city students who were greatly lacking in social skills, etiquette and character values. Dr. Jeanne felt compelled to develop a program that would address all of these vital issues and a program that would keep their attention. It began with a single topic that led to another and eventually led to 25 vitally important topics covering many issues facing our children and youth today. She believes whole heartedly that God led her to teach her first students in the inner city of Memphis, Tennessee. Now, after graduating many of her “God’s Best” students and seeing the transformations in their lives, she is convinced that it is possible for children and teens to live productive, dynamic Christian lives. “God Brings Out The Very Best In Me” points our young children and teens away from the many destructive influences of the world toward a life full of the character and etiquette of Christ. This exceptional study is a rich, transformational foundation every parent will want their child to experience.

Congratulations, Mom!

You are about to start an exciting and rewarding six weeks ahead as you teach kids Christian etiquette and character based on the noble attributes of Christ. No one else is better suited for the job than you. And do you want to know the best part? You have the advantage of knowing what study habits your children have, their strong and weak points, and how to introduce them to new life concepts that they haven’t fully embraced until now.

For these next six weeks, you’ll encourage your children to imitate the impeccable etiquette and character of Christ in all they do. You’ll see how God will bring out the very best in your children as you teach manners, communication, social skills, and godly principals. What a privilege it is that God has entrusted you to pour so much of His character and refinement into your children! Think how delightful it is going to be to see these young sprouts grow to become a shining reflection of Jesus.
