Grammy-Nominated Joe Pace Releases New Book with Serenity Publishing & Communications, Inc.
Nashville, TN - Grammy, 6-time Dove and 7-time Stellar nominated producer, songwriter, artist, author and the director/CEO of the award-wining Colorado Mass Choir, Joseph Pace, II, is one of the gospel music industry's most dynamic and compelling talents. A leader in the area of cross-cultural worship, and an extremely engaging instructor/teacher, Joe is one of the most sought after workshop clinicians and speakers in the country, traveling extensively, conducting music workshops for ministries . He is a contributing columnist for Gospel Today and Worship Leader magazines (where he also sits on the editorial board).
"Writing a book that addressed the area of music ministry on an in-depth level has been in my heart for a very long time. It seemed a natural progression to publish at this time with the increase in workshop requests we have received over the last year," states, Minister Pace. As an artist, producer, and songwriter for Integrity Gospel, Joe has created a line of “gospel flavored” praise and worship music resources for the church. The award nominated “Joe Pace Presents” product line has won critical acclaim for its technical excellence and its “usability” by local churches. Joe's 3rd installment and most current release in that series, Joe Pace Presents... Sunday Morning Service, has already received rave reviews for it's innovative concept and sound.
"Joe Pace is a resourceful talent. He has many giftings and with his demanding workshop schedule we are excited that he chose Serenity to publish his first literary work," states DeAngella Lockett, Founder of Serenity. "There is no doubt that pastors, musicians and artists will all be affected by the material in this book," she continues.
The title of the book, From Performance to Praise, is a peak into the progression Joe Pace takes with this work. It was written as a handbook for those involved with the music ministry at any level. Lashawn Carson, Serenity's Director of Operations states, "We know that once the book is available, it is going to be a blessing to many, many people. This is one of the reasons we felt strongly about being apart of this project."
Since Serenity was established it has published books for best-selling author Bishop Donald Wright who authored, Tonight We Wrestle, and also published The Seduction of the Senses, authored by the women's ministry of Born Again Church in Nashville, Tennessee, home church of world renowned gospel singer CeCe Winans.
With offices in Nashville and Atlanta, Serenity Publishing and Communications, Inc. is poised to bring manuscripts to life for other ministry leaders, organizations, artists and aspiring authors. Ms. Lockett says "Our goal is not only to publish books for authors but to develop creative strategies that will translate into book sells. We partner with our authors and in most cases the end result is a moderate profit margin from their books. Handing an author a new book is like handing life to someone. Authors carry a desire to bring words to life and when they receive their book its like handing someone a baby for the first time. We are always excited to be apart of that."
