All of us are artists, all artisans, and the most important work of art is the life that we create. The beginning of the artistic journey is really the soul, the essence, of all artists, of all creativity. We’re designed to create. All human beings, whether you realise it or not, whether you’re a painter or a doctor or a writer or a teacher, we’re all artisans. It’s not only the quality of the ingredients we use to build our lives that matter, but the care we bring to the process itself. Just like baking artisan bread, it’s crafted. There are no shortcuts to making quality. And God has something to say about how we craft our lives.
In a fresh voice that resonates with insiders and ‘outsiders’ alike, Erwin McManus demonstrates that we all begin with the essence of an artist, which is a soul. We all need to truly create, to be a part of a creative process that brings to the world something beautiful and something good and true, is to allow our souls to come to life. With poignent, inspirational stories and select Bible verses sprinkled throughout, McManus walks readers through the process of crafting a life of beauty. If you don’t like what your life is creating, if you have a sense that that there’s more that your life should be about, then begin with your Artisan soul and allow yourself to come to that place of aliveness, of emotional health, of spiritual vitality, where you bring to those around you and the world something extraordinary.
