Author Description

<b>What if the pursuit of justice requires more than activism? What if it also demands beauty?<br/></b><br/>In a world marked by division and suffering, we face a critical challenge: how to pursue what is right without burning out or losing compassion along the way.<br/><br/>In <i>Beauty and Justice</i>, justice advocate Haejin Shim Fujimura and internationally renowned artist Makoto Fujimura invite you to<br/><br/>&#9679; discover how to sustain the slow work of justice through gratitude and generosity,<br/>&#9679; understand why justice without beauty can become harsh and ineffective, and<br/>&#9679; embrace practices for cultivating a &quot;generative life&quot; of courageous service.<br/><br/>Through stories from their global work in the arts, advocacy, and cultural renewal, the authors reveal that beauty isn't a luxury--it's essential to effective, lasting justice work. Beauty has the power to heal, and justice becomes most compelling when it is truly beautiful.<br/><br/>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.
