What does it mean to be a creative artist? And how does faith intersect with creativity, entertainment, and the arts? In this collection of essays spanning over a decade in the arts and entertainment industry, Shun Lee Fong explores those very topics with genuineness and vulnerability. Whether artists are amateurs or professionals, the depth of Shun Lee's insights will carry them to new levels in their craft - both creatively and spiritually."Creativity is tough, and doing it professionally can be brutal. That's why 'The Saints & The Poets' is so timely. Whatever pressure, deadlines, or urgency you're facing, this book is a chance to pause, reflect, and restart. Few outsiders understand the demands of a creative life, but here is a writer who not only understands it, but he's been there. On our most challenging day, 'The Saints & The Poets' reminds us of the hope that can transform everything we do." Phil Cooke, Executive Producer of The Hillsong Movie: Let Hope Rise"'The Saints & The Poets' moved me to think, to pray, to contemplate, and to discuss it with my creative friends and associates. Shun Lee has done a fabulous job of capturing the life, the struggles, and the joys of being both a Christian and an Artist. I found 'The Saints & The Poets' encouraging, inspirational, thought-provoking and full of personal stories and biblical truths. I would like to give this as a gift to every Christian who walks into Hollywood for the first time, and then again 10 years later to remind them of what it's all about." Karen Covell, television producer and Executive Director of Hollywood Prayer Network"Shun Lee delivers a new classic on art, creativity, and faith, with a clear and deep commitment to all three. Artists of all sorts would do well to contemplate his thoughts and incorporate them in their respective crafts. Thought-provoking and clever, this is the best creative manual since Madeleine L'Engle's 'Walking On Water.'" Valerie Bourdain, artist, author & public speaker"Shun Lee has created something extraordinary for every artist, poet, and saint in his new book 'The Saints & The Poets.' This rich, engrossing journal for creatives has gripped me! I feel like quoting every favorite line from each chapter. Read each word to get the full effect..." Jeff Saxton, filmmaker & author of 'The New Pharisee'"Shun Lee ushers the Creative into very relatable territory. He prompts us to reflect upon the questions and insecurities that plague us as we stare at a blank laptop screen, look into either end of a camera lens, walk onto any stage, or face a casting row of judgment. But he doesn't leave us in our artisan angst! Shun Lee recalls the very human and very flawed 'heroes' of the scriptures, who faced similar dilemmas, and in turn encourages us to face another script, another shoot, another performance... because Immanuel - God is with us!" Dan Rupple, CEO of Mastermedia International"I opened 'The Saints & The Poets' anticipating a lovely read from a thoughtful young man whom I know to be full of spiritual truth. What I didn't anticipate was that I would became completely enraptured by his transparency, warmth, and depth. As a creative himself, Shun Lee relates to the insecurities, fear, and ego that often run amok in a life in the arts. His experiences and insights will resonate with every creative. But to pigeonhole his audience to the artistic community alone limits the power and potential of this devotional memoir. Whether you're a writer, musician, actor... or a biologist, dentist, or marketing wiz... don't we all yearn to embrace and fully embody that Divine spark within us? And that is precisely the beauty and universality of this book. It will speak to your soul, nudge you out of your comfort zone, propel you closer to the Source of all creation - and encourage you to to express all that He's designed you to be."
