This God, who watches worlds:
sees my heart.
This careful calculator, counting millions: counts me in.
This artist, whose canvas
outstretches eternity at both ends;
whose palette outshines planets:
paints my portrait.
This lover, who dreams in universes:
dreams of me.
This creator, whose breadth of vision spans time
and spawns a cosmos;
whose woven tapestry of purpose,
more compound than chaos,
eclipsing complexity,
rolls out like a highway through history; whose heartbeat deafens supernovas:
This craftsman hears my whispered cry.
This father... kisses me.

This playwright,
playing with the deaths
and entrances of start;
scripting the end from the beginning;
knowing He purposes of the play,
watches my feeble audition:
and writes me in.

A practical guide, full of wisdom, encouragement, and pastoral guidance from the author of The Heart of the Artist (100,000 copies sold).
It's not easy being an artist in the church. In this sequel to The Heart of the Artist, Rory Noland encourages and equips Christian artists—musicians, painters, actors, dancers, sound and lighting technicians, etc.—to not only persevere in ministry, but to thrive in a church setting. Combining scriptural principles with the author's twenty-five years of experience, this book offers proven advice to help artists deal with the conflicts and issues that threaten to sabotage both art and ministry.
