Old Soul, New Creation: Experiencing God through a Life of Art and Faith
Whether you prefer a pen, a paintbrush, or an iPad, every creative endeavor you undertake is a testimony to how God made you in His image. As the youngest certified Master Penman in the world, Jake knows the dedication it takes to hone skill and refine talent to be a successful creator. But as an acclaimed painter and woodworker, Jake Weidmann also has firsthand experience of drawing near and relying on his Creator to guide his work. For the first time, Jake invites you into his artist's studio to see the Maker's steady hand at work in his life and art, and ultimately to inspire you to embrace God's calling over you, whatever it may be.

Old Soul, New Creation features ten of Jake's creations, along with in-progress photographs and stories of the artistic and spiritual struggle behind each. This stunning book is ultimately a story of God’s goodness, His faithfulness, and His loving calling—all of which you can experience when you embrace the talents God gives you.
