Financially bankrupt, emotionally drained, significant weight gain, doubting the calling of God. These are the words that describe the mental, emotional and spiritual state that Dr. Naima Johnston found herself in three years after leaving her position as the Associate Director of Student Life at Wright State University to pursue a career in Christian music. After a serious year of reflection, soul searching and surrender, Dr. Johnston is rebuilding her ministry with great enthusiasm, faith and success. "Called To Sing, 13 Mistakes To Avoid When Starting In Music Ministry", is now available online at Amazon and Create Space and will soon be available in several bookstores.

   Geared towards independent Christian artists and those contemplating a career in Christian music, this book addresses issues that many artists fail to recognize as potential problems that can stunt the growth and development of their ministries. As a minister, Christian Recording artist and the CEO of Broken Box Ministries, Dr. Johnston uses her extensive personal experience as a “failure” to assist others who are building a music ministry.

   Keith Mohr, president of www.indieheaven.com one of the largest websites dedicated to supporting and promoting Christian independent artists states, “Naima's book is full of wisdom from someone who has been there, and done that! Experience is the best teacher, and Naima's teachings will save the emerging or seasoned independent artist time, resources and heartache. This is a must read for anyone interested in a Christian music mission!”

   Dr. Johnston said, “I wanted to share what I had learned the hard way, I am passionate about helping others achieve their God given destiny and if that means exposing my many shortcomings, so be it. I’ve failed fabulously and my faith has grown despite of it, and now I stand amazed at how the Lord is using me to help others avoid those failures while also building my own musical career!”
