Author Description

Financially bankrupt, emotionally drained, doubting the calling of God, these are the words that describe the spiritual state that Dr. Naima Johnston found herself in after leaving her professional position as an educator to pursue a career in Christian music. After a year of reflection, prayer and surrender, Dr. Johnston is now rebuilding her ministry with great enthusiasm, faith and success. This book has been birthed from these experiences. Geared towards independent Christian artists and those contemplating a career in music ministry, this manual addresses issues that many artists fail to recognize as potential problems that can stunt the development of their ministries. Covering areas such as booking, marketing, and faith, Dr. Johnston draws from her extensive personal experience as a "failure" to present a practical guide to building a music ministry.
