    About this ebook

    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'd be interested to know how this would read to someone who doesn't feel creative. Would they actually believe that creativity is part of being human?

      As for me, thought it was great. 4.5 stars.
    • 5/5
      One of the best books on creativity that I’ve ever read! Life-changing insights. Left me full of hope, encouragement and wonder! God is the most inspiring being ever and the fact that we’re made in his image and likeness is extremely humbling and also glorious. Read this book and create a life that’s a masterpiece. Unleash your artisan soul.
