About the Book:
your FREE eBOOK (9.4MB PDF), also available from iBooks / iTunes. A paperback version is now available on Amazon.com.
This book project explores the power of love and forgiveness shared in art, music, and writing. It features exclusive interviews with over 100 artists sharing their art, faith, and values by answering three interview questions within one essay:
Q: “How can art/music transform our capacity to love and forgive?”
Q: “What positive values does art/music communicate to the world?”
Q: “How has your own creative life impacted or transformed your values?”
The intention is to share insights about the relationship between creative expression and the universal values of love and forgiveness through the artists’ own personal experiences. Artists share their story as a personal testimonial of how they have personally experienced or have been transformed by the power of love, forgiveness, or other values through art, music, and writing. Expressions and insights from their spiritual journey are encouraged.
About the Project:
This project is supported by the Fetzer Institute and seeks to identify and learn from a number of artists who have explored or demonstrated spirituality and a deeper meaning in their creative efforts, and focuses on the values of creativity, love, and forgiveness. The primary goal is to create a compelling, educational, and inspiring resource that shares insights and reflections on powerful intersections that exist between artists and creativity. The project itself has developed as an inquiry into creativity, love, forgiveness, spirituality, the inner-life, transformation, and more. It seeks to inspire, motivate, and ground people in these values, beliefs, and practices through the FREE eBook and print on demand publication, plus online presence via this website https://exness-trade.my/web .

About the Fetzer Institute:
Our Mission: To foster awareness of the power of love and forgiveness in the emerging global community.
Today's world is full of hardships and worries: work, study, business, politics, sports, stock trading http://exness-trade.my/web. This is why our organization encourages people to adapt to everyday difficulties, to become friendly and compassionate.
People across the globe, from all cultures and traditions, embrace love and forgiveness in daily life. These values are universally viewed as central to the fabric of humanity. Yet, the emerging global community has few institutions dedicated to deepening the understanding and fostering deeper awareness of these values. In this context, the Fetzer Institute pursues a unique role-working to investigate, activate, and celebrate the power of love and forgiveness as a practical force for good in today’s world. We are interested in how people truly experience and understand love and forgiveness from their diverse points of view, especially from the perspective of their daily work in the world.
