Endorsements (${ productEndorsements.length })
“Like his art, Makoto Fujimura’s essays harbor a depth of luminosity that requires and rewards patient contemplation. This collection is an important contribution to the conversation between faith and art and between art and our beautiful, broken world.”
Andy Crouch
editor, Christian Vision Project for CT
“At once bold and gracious, these ‘despatches’ from one of our finest living artists will provoke and inspire the reader at the deepest levels. If ever there were a time when we needed Fujimura’s profound evocation of art as a harbinger of peace in a fractured world, this is it.”
Jeremy Begbie
Thomas A. Langford research professor of theology, Duke University
“Mako’s art reaches from earth to heaven, and so does his poetic prose. His essays on the recent past bring out what a brilliant artist sees and a text-oriented historian might overlook: the texture, color, and poignancy of living in New York after 9/11 and viewing a world laden with both horror and hope.”
Marvin Olasky
editor-in-chief, WORLD magazine; provost, The King’s College
“An artist with the craftsmanship and global appeal of Makoto Fujimura comes along all too rarely. Such an artist with a strong faith commitment who both inspires and leads other artists — now that’s really rare. Mako is a fine writer. I learned, and was provoked and frequently moved by these reflections that through Mako’s eye have become unique refractions.””
Philip Yancey
author of more than twenty books, including Prayer: Does It Make Any Difference? and What’s So Amazing About Grace?
