"Unlocking The Heart Of The Artist" continues to be one of my favorite personal development books for artists. Matt's presentation style is honest, authentic and transparent...and because he is successfully thriving as an artist (and writer and speaker too) after traveling his own journey of "unlocking", I have more confidence in being able to get there myself. As a Christian, I also really value Matt Tommey's perspective on combining faith, art. life."   Pam L.

Additional Recommended Resources

So much of my journey over the years has been nurtured by the teaching of countless artists, pastors, teachers, friends , men and women of God. In particular, Jim & Pat Banks with House of Healing Ministries (their impartation into my life on the subject of inner healing set a firm foundation in my life for everything God has done), Bill Johnson (what can I say...) and Gary Keesee's (his teaching literally transformed our finances, my perspective and put me on the road to really understanding what the Kingdom was all about) teaching on the Kingdom of God and so many others. It's my pleasure to recommend  many of the books that have informed and matured my own journey. Here are a few of my favorite:

Jim & Pat Banks Gary Keesee Bethel
Mark DeJesus
​There are also many other teachers, scientists, writers, marketers, business people and artists who have inspired and informed so much of what I share. Many I've worked with and many more I've never met personally. I stand on their shoulders. As I've learned from them - both Christian and secular sources - and continued to study on my own, my perspective has emerged.  One that recognizes science, research and experience while interpreted through a lens based in the Kingdom of God.  While their resources are too many to mention here, I do want to honor their influence in my journey including:
