Items related to Funded by Faith An American Dream
Mitchell John, as told to Bob Millard, tells a story of an independent-minded dreamer who resisted his dream for years before jumping all the way into touring and recording as an independent musical artist. Mitchell is energetic, opinionated ad honest to a fault. A hard working entertainer, he has performed in more than 680 Wal-Mart in-store appearances, solidigying a fan base that Nashville's Music Row has all but forgotten. You'll love reading this tale of a ten-year career and an utlitmately successful life framed by indomitable independence, the inevitable pull of a dream, lucky breaks, mistakes, comedy, tragedy, and the warmth and love of a family that stuck together through it all.

Review:
Funded by Faith (An American Dream) is part how-to, part cautionary tale, part history lesson-and pure inspiration. Even if you've never had an ounce of interest in the inside workings of the music business or how an outsider clawed his way through-you'll be fascinated by Mitchell John's account of his own remarkable story, touched by the motivation that kept him going, and enriched by the first-hand lessons he learned along the way. --Neil Pond, Nashville Journalist.
