Smart, Edgy church goers. And it was about time to start one.This ah-ha moment was the beginning of Root Magazine. The mission of Root Magazine is to bring gospel music and the culture to the masses. There are no limits to where Root Magazine will take the gospel world.There are few people out there who can be described as truly good people. Robert James is definitely one of them. And with a good heart and pure intentions behind Root Magazine, this is one venture that will truly be blessed.
