WASHINGTON, Nov. 25, 2002 (PRIMEZONE) -- Dr. D. Maurice Johnson or "Dr. DJ" explores the impact of the adult male presence in the lives of others in his new autobiographical narrative, "Daddy Who Me?" (now available through 1stBooks Library). "Daddy Who Me?" is about his strong and profound relationships with his godchildren and how he has effected and shaped their lives. He asserts it is both a gift from God and something he has learned from some very special men in his own life, like his father and other men who were like fathers to him.
Reading about Johnson's relationships with his godchildren and the men in his early life in "Daddy Who Me?" will help readers seek more meaningful mutual relationships (parent-to-child and child-to-parent) and encourage those who desire to have such relationships but are reluctant or timid about doing so.
Sean Smith, a close friend of Johnson who inspired the writing of this book, says, "With God's guidance, this book will offer help to those of you who are in relationships in which there is a need to better deal with and understand both yourself and your children."
Johnson's deep passion for people and music ministry is reflected throughout his book. In fact, most of these relationships were forged during the process, or as a result, of music ministry.
Another close friend of Johnson who inspired the writing of this book, Chaplain Herbert Griffin, attests this, saying, "As you read the word of 'Daddy Who Me?' you will be edified and uplifted, and it will compel you -- if you are not already sharing yourself with your community and your church -- that you will (share), because that is truly what Christ would have you to do."
Dr. D. Maurice Johnson, a native of East Chicago, Ind., is a Professional Ministry Consultant who specializes in Gospel Music Ministry. He currently serves as Minister of Music & Arts for Metropolitan United Methodist Church and Gospel Choir Director for Seton Keough High School, both of which are located in Baltimore, Md. Johnson's numerous musical publications include "Skilled Excellence," "These Are They," "Gospelized Hymns," "Gospelized Communion Hymns," "Just for the King," and "Fit for the King."
