• Nashville, TN - July 16, 2009 -- Contemporary Christian artist, SHARMANE, this week releases her third CD project, Leap of Faith, gathering a fresh collection of songs geared to encourage and inspire listeners with her fresh, infectious delivery of music that ministers.
  
  The CD, produced by Tony Morra (Bread of Stone, Cherie Adams, Rick Cua) is a perfect tracking for a career that has shown great connectivity over the past several years with both the Christian industry and a growing national supporter base of music and ministry awareness.
  
  In Leap of Faith, Sharmane presents a bright and optimistic creative slant on songs that perfectly fit her pop/AC leanings. Amidst the upbeat energy, the true centerpiece of the project is a beautifully crafted co-written ballad, Generations, a tribute to the Godly women in her life who have encouraged her on her profound journey of faith.
  
  Original track highlights include: Life Is More, Stand Up, No Matter What, I Am Yours, Fast Lane, Take Me There, and the title track, Leap of Faith. Cover tracks of Put A Little Love In Your Heart, and I Can See Clearly Now, take on new spiritual meaning in the presentation given to them by Sharmane.
  
  The new project is close to her heart of every day personal ministry applications. Sharmane noted in a recent interview: "Despite challenges and obstacles that may lie ahead, most of us start each day with great intentions. We are all driven by hopes and dreams and find encouragement in taking steps forward in faith that will lead us to our destinations. I encourage everyone to leave the baby steps behind and take a real 'leap of faith' towards God! He will never disappoint you!"
  
  Sharmane's journey has been just that kind of 'leap.'
  
  Since the release of her debut CD, Prayerful Hearts in 2002, she has been honored with several notable industry awards, including Devotional Song of the Year honors in 2008 for I Surrender. The song was written by her for a friend whose son was seriously ill. Released to Christian radio as a single in 2007, the song held in the Top 10 of the I-Chart for more than 10 weeks. A special "Impact Project" campaign was created by Sharmane as an outreach of the song with proceeds of every download donated to St. Jude's Children's Hospital in Memphis for research into childhood cancer.
  
  Sharmane has become an in demand national speaker, forming her own ministry, Prayerful Hearts, from the launch pad of her music career. Church events and conferences as well as youth events and women's retreats have resourced her as a gifted communicator through music and message.
  
  Youth ministry is another emphasis of her Prayerful Hearts outreach. Recognizing a void in that area of ministry, Sharmane has created an interactive workshop series for high schoolers. "Find Me, Cleanse Me, Take Me There" focuses teens on a program to find the heart of who they are and where God desires them to be. An offshoot of the program, "Stuck In The Middle" was later created as a workshop to invest the same spiritual message into the lives of middle school kids.
  
  Sharmane continues to present her youth workshops, as well as presenting a three day program titled, "Make Me An Instrument of Your Peace," geared towards family ministry in the home. She herself is married and the mother of two.
