About the Book

At the heart of it, what true artists do—whether in music or painting or film or simply the art of living—is a matter of creative incitement: by looking at the world in particular ways, they see it more clearly, and they invite the rest of us to see it more clearly, and to love it more perfectly. In that respect, the life of faith is a matter of art—of creative enticement. The Christian's view of the world can inspire hope for the hopeless and redemptive action for people who have forgotten their responsibility to act. Mining his experiences as a missionary, a music industry professional and a visual artist, Douglas Mann offers this call to artists of every stripe—from musicians to missionaries and everywhere in between—to a life of creative incitement to the glory of God.

About the Author :
Douglas Mann is a published songwriter and a former music business and book-publishing executive. He is an accomplished visual artist whose work can be found in collections throughout North America, Western and Eastern Europe, and Asia. He divides his time between Colorado and Ukraine.

Review :
"This confrontational and encouraging tome sees the artist in every person and the potential for ministry and worship in every moment and life. Mann calls us to be creative inciters, claiming our 'birthright as one made in the image of our creator,' and reminds us that the pathway to life in Christ is death. 'Our opportunity as creative inciters is to worship by re-creating Christ's ministry of selflessness, self-sacrifice, and obedience to the will and purposes of God.' Mann advocates for a course (which will be unique for each of us) that will cost everything, yet yield freedom in Christ and the joy of living out our true identity." "Mann explores the meaning of Christian art and challenges readers to view all of life as art. Throughout his career, Mann has witnessed the potential of the arts to bridge culturally or ecumenically imposed barriers. By removing man-made classifications, the arts become a safe, common ground between the church and a community that sorely needs the Gospel. Recommend this book to those interested in pursuing the arts as a career, or as a group study, particularly for young adults."
