Freelance Writer Release Christian Music Makers

Mark Weber, an active freelance writer who has had articles of Christian musicians published in well-known Christian magazines and websites, has released a new book, Christian Music Makers. Weber’s book covers CD reviews and interviews of 70 contemporary Christian artists.

“It’s written for both the Christian music lover, who will discover tidbits they never knew about artists they already listen to and be exposed to new artists they know nothing about—yet—and for those who know nothing about contemporary Christian and gospel music,? says Weber. “There are some inspiring ‘peace after pain? stories in there from artists like Bonnie Keen, Justin Fox, Londa Larmond and Tammy Trent. From big names, like Kirk Franklin, Kathy Troccoli, Bob Carlisle and Aaron Neville, to up-and-coming artists such as John Reuben, Todd Agnew and Dorinda Clark-Cole, ‘Christian Music Makers? incorporates a wide spectrum of artists and genres.?

The new book is available online at www.lulu.com/christianmusic.
