Refractions - the book

Are you familiar with Makoto Fujimura? How about International Arts Movement?

Makoto is an artist, to say the least. He's the founder of IAM. His vision is astounding. Check it out:

IAM gathers artists and creative catalysts to wrestle with the deep questions of art, faith and humanity in order to inspire the creative community to engage the culture that is and create the world that ought to be.

Art is society's existential statement, in answer to the question, "Why live?" International Arts Movement works as a catalyst to inspire people to hope, engage deeply into the depth of culture's critical zones, and create a world that ought to be. We believe that artistic excellence as a model of "what ought to be" paves the way for lasting, enduring humanity.

Does that fire you up or WHAT? Exciting! Art, Faith, Culture.
Art that is redemptive, healing, and beautiful. Awesome, huh?

Mako's new book is out and ready to be added to your library. You can bet I'm heading to Hearts and Minds today to pick up my copy.

Don't underestimate the power of creativity and the arts. God created us as creative beings. To co-create with Him and bring to our broken world our heartfelt expression of the human existence and to express our innate longings for what's yet to come - the unstoppable and never ending beauty of Jesus.
