Overview

With over 100,000 sold, The Heart of the Artist is great for individuals and teams. This book explores issues of character facing Christian artists who want to use their gifts more effectively in church ministry.

“I wish I had your gift!”

How do you handle those words as a creative artist? Somewhere between pride and self-abasement lies true humility—just one aspect of the balanced character God wants to instill in you as an actor, musician, visual artist, or other creative person involved in ministry. God is interested in your art and your heart. The Heart of the Artist deals head-on with issues every person in an arts ministry faces:

• Servanthood Versus Stardom
• Excellence Versus Perfectionism
• The Spiritual Disciplines of the Artist
• The Artist in Community
• ... and more!

The Heart of the Artist will give you a better understanding of yourself and your unique place in the body of Christ. You’ll find wisdom and encouragement that can help you survive the challenges and reap the rich joys of ministry in the creative arts.
