The Artist's Rage: A Christian Poetic Parable of Humility and Grace (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780995491465)

What happens when those meant to share God's love choose pride over compassion? The Artist's Rage is a Christian inspirational poem that explores this very question. In this sequel to The Artist's Page, a humble artist (symbolizing God) sends out his representatives - some filled with humble kindness, others with self-righteous pride - to invite people into a relationship with Him. The contrast is stark: genuine love draws others in, while hypocrisy drives them away. This poetic tale uses rich allegory to depict the consequences of misrepresenting God's character, making Him "unattractive to know." In just 36 pages, Debra C. Rufini delivers a thought-provoking narrative in verse, brought to life by the evocative illustrations of Jelena Banjac. Each page combines poetic storytelling and imagery, guiding you on a spiritual journey to reflect on your own faith and attitude. Readers will witness both the joy of grace and humility and the "rage" - the sorrow - that follows prideful judgment. The story's allegorical style is easy to read yet deeply moving, inviting personal introspection about how we represent God's love and grace in our lives. Ideal for poetry and spirituality readers: The Artist's Rage speaks to the heart of anyone on a faith journey.
