Pablo Picasso said The artist is a receptacle for emotions that come from all over the place, from the sky, from the earth, from a scrap of paper, from a passing shape, from a spiders web.
This book is a small receptacle of priceless treasures of thought and revelation that is sure to help you identify who you really are as a CREATIVE. Austin's incredible and concise insight reveals the sky, the earth, the scraps of paper, the passing shapes and yes, the spider webs within us all. This is the biggest little book you will ever read.

We are living in an age of connectedness undreamt of by previous generations. The internet and other media are connecting more people, faster and cheaper, than ever before. This ought to bring a wider range of creativity and cultures to bear on each other, and yet among many Christians it seems to have the opposite effect. Why create new stuff when we can rely on a handful of talented sources, with their own YouTube channels, to do our creating for us?
Austin Biel writes passionately, Biblically, and from years of experience He's calling us toward a better understanding of ourselves and our duty to render back to loving creative heavenly Father what He has built into each one. Let's read, enjoy, be challenged, take risks, and fulfill more of our potential for Jesus. Even though most of us won't become famous in this life, we'll have all eternity to compare notes, and give God the glory.
