How faith transforms the lives and work of
creative and innovative people we
admire—an
inspiration to discover the spirit of God in our own life and
work.
Faith is the secret foundation of many
lives—including, as this book reveals, the lives of many
people we admire and look to for inspiration. In this moving
book, soul-searching conversations unearth the importance of
spirituality and personal faith for more than forty artists and
innovators who have made a real difference in our world through
their work. Seeing the ways that these lives have been
strongly—even miraculously—affected by faith will
serve as an inspiration to discover the spirit of God at work
in your own life and work.
