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.
Jake Weidmann - Jake is a professional artist and certified as one of nine Master Penmen in the world. Jake was certified through IAMPETH (International Association of Master Penmen, Engrossers, and Teachers of Handwriting) in July 2011. He holds the title as the youngest Master Penman by three decades and the youngest to ever attain the title. His journey into calligraphy has been the “special sauce” for everything he now creates, incorporating the traditional calligraphic flourishing into his fine art. Jake is self-taught in each of his disciplines (calligraphy, painting, drawing, woodworking, and engraving). While he typically works with private clients, Jake has worked with Apple, Inc., Crossway Books, and Biola University, and has spoken from countless stages including TEDx and Q, and was featured on the PBS series, A Craftsman’s Legacy.
