Synopsis

In The Artisan Soul, Erwin Raphael McManus, author, thought leader, and founder of MOSAIC in Los Angeles, pens a manifesto for human creativity and the beginning of a new renaissance. McManus not only calls us to reclaim our creative essence but reveals how we can craft our lives into a work of art. There are no shortcuts to quality, and McManus celebrates the spiritual process that can help us discover our true selves.McManus demonstrates that we all carry within us the essence of an artist. We all need to create, to be a part of a process that brings to the world something beautiful, good, and true, in order to allow our souls to come to life. 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 a process that's crafted over time. And God has something to say about how we craft our lives. With poignant, inspirational stories and insights from art, life, history, and scripture interspersed throughout, McManus walks readers through the process of crafting a life of beauty and wonder.

I thoroughly enjoyed Pastor McManus’ book on crafting oneself into art. To claim the reminder that we are fearfully and wonderfully made, for purposes of worshipping our Creator. That we are given everything to suss out our God-given gifts, to use for others. Though I never considered myself an artis......more

Goodreads review by Lulufrances on February 25, 2016

It's a fantastic sign when non-fiction actually manages to inspire and motivate you so much, you want to get going right away and get sh*t done asap! This was a beautiful example. I am inspired. I want to create. I want to love. Yay! I wish I were brave enough to furiously highlight my books, because this......more

Goodreads review by Claxton on June 13, 2018

This book convicted & inspired me to develop & use the gifts God has given me. This is not to say that I think any of my gifts are great, but that I need to be a better steward of craft & whatever art is within me. McManus gives the old Picasso quote we've all read a million times, "All children are......more
