- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Most artists feel as if they're living on the fringe of culture. Christian artists especially feel this disconnect between the church and their work. Fujimura explores the reasons for this disconnect and begins to outline a plan to overcome it. As an artist, himself, the author offers insight into the value that artists provide to communities. One of the things I particularly like about the book is the discussion concerning how we define value. The author stresses that an economic perspective is only one value criteria, and often a poor one for determining the full value of something. The things that matter most in life are often unrelated to money. Recommended for artists of any faith who struggle with how to fit into contemporary culture.
