Description

Unlock the transformation of your passion with the keys of purpose-driven work in The Heart of the Maker. Whether you're an artist or entrepreneur, writer, weekend warrior or looking for a way to activate your calling, this book serves as a blueprint for turning creativity into meaningful action.

With hard-won lessons and a deep connection to the spiritual roots of creativity, this maker's guide equips you with the tools to face uncertainty and emerge confidently into your creative calling.

Jake Weidmann, renowned self-taught artist and the youngest Master Penman in the world, wants to show you how to:

  • grow closer to God by connecting with the spiritual roots of creativity;
  • see your challenges as a way to stretch your ingenuity; and
