Overview"Outreach Magazine Resource of the Year Christianity Today's Book of the Year Award of Merit ""Culture is not a territory to be won or lost but a resource we are called to steward with care. Culture is a garden to be cultivated."" Many bemoan the decay of culture. But we all have a responsibility to care for culture, to nurture it in ways that help people thrive. In Culture Care artist Makoto Fujimura issues a call to cultural stewardship, in which we become generative and feed our culture's soul with beauty, creativity, and generosity. We serve others as cultural custodians of the future. This is a book for artists, but artists come in many forms. Anyone with a calling to create—from visual artists, musicians, writers, and actors to entrepreneurs, pastors, and business professionals—will resonate with its message. This book is for anyone with a desire or an artistic gift to reach across boundaries with understanding, reconciliation, and healing. It is a book for anyone with a passion for the arts, for supporters of the arts, and for ""creative catalysts"" who understand how much the culture we all share affects human thriving today and shapes the generations to come. Culture Care includes a study guide for individual reflection or group discussion."

It's hope borne into places where hope that is truly hope must be realistic, slow, disruptive, and limited. Mako's encompassing, inspiring, humble, bold vision is life-giving, because it is what life is meant to be. Culture care is needed everywhere. --from the foreword by Mark Labberton, president, Fuller Theological Seminary Mako Fujimura's words, art, and life all convey an understanding that the common ground of theology and art is our image-bearing humanness and that an engagement with both our Creator and our creativity are colors that equally belong on the canvas of our culture. His life-giving and rehumanizing summons to culture care fuels the redemptive yearning within each one of us for the world that ought to be. --Matt Heard, author of Life with a Capital L Culture care is the imaginative effluence of being a faithful follower of Jesus in any time or place.
