Full Description
What if the pursuit of justice requires more than activism? What if it also demands beauty? In a world marked by division and suffering, beauty has the power to heal, and justice becomes most compelling when it is truly beautiful.
In Beauty and Justice, justice advocate Haejin Shim Fujimura and internationally renowned artist Makoto Fujimura explore how beauty and justice are two sides of the same gospel calling. Through stories from their global work in the arts, advocacy, and cultural renewal, they invite readers to
· discover how beauty sustains justice work and prevents burnout,
· understand why justice without beauty can become harsh and ineffective, and
· embrace practices for cultivating a "generative life" of courageous service.
For artists, leaders, and changemakers, this book offers a bold invitation to partner with God in restoring what is broken and building a more beautiful future. It includes a four-color insert of artwork discussed in the book.
