Unlock the transformation of your passion with the keys of purpose-driven work in The Heart of the Maker. Whether you're an artist or entrepreneur, writer, weekend warrior or looking for a way to activate your calling, this book serves as a blueprint for turning creativity into meaningful action.

With hard-won lessons and a deep connection to the spiritual roots of creativity, this maker's guide equips you with the tools to face uncertainty and emerge confidently into your creative calling.

Jake Weidmann, renowned self-taught artist and the youngest Master Penman in the world, wants to show you how to:

  • balance the sacred and the sellable in the business of soulful creation;
  • embrace your gift in less-than-ideal times and spaces for your making;
  • grow your skill while balancing the books, working with your spouse, dealing with stress, and fighting burnout;
  • discover the importance of faith, family, and relationships as the foundation for great art and a meaningful life;
  • grow closer to God by connecting with the spiritual roots of creativity;
  • see your challenges as a way to stretch your ingenuity; and
  • overcome self-doubt by trusting in God's plan and stepping boldly into your unique creative purpose.

But this is more than a guide—it's a call to action for anyone ready to leave behind the ordinary and make a lasting impact in their work and their life. With The Heart of the Maker, readers will learn how to view their creativity not just as a skill but as a gift, meant to be cultivated and shared to glorify God and bless others.
