In between pouring precious, pulverized minerals onto handmade paper to create the prismatic, refractive surfaces of his art, he comes into the quiet space in the studio in a discipline of awareness, waiting, prayer, and praise. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Ranging from the Bible to T. S. Eliot, Mark Rothko, and Japanese Kintsugi technique, he shows how, unless we are making something, we cannot know the depth of God's being and God's grace permeating our lives. This poignant and beautiful book offers the perspective of, in Christian Wiman's words, an \"accidental theologian,\" one who comes to spiritual questions always through the prism of art.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMakoto Fujimura\u003c\/b\u003e is an artist whose exhibitions in New York and Asia have been featured in the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e, the \u003ci\u003eAtlantic\u003c\/i\u003e, and other leading publications.
