Here it is - slightly more formal than the Amazon description since IngramSpark feeds into bookstore and library databases: The Totality Art Movement: The New Art Movement to Prepare for the Second Coming of Jesus ChristMost books about the Second Coming of Jesus Christ track events and timelines. This one prepares people - through art.The Totality Art Movement is a declared art movement with a 133-year documented artistic lineage whose purpose is unlike any movement currently being exhibited: to prepare human souls for the return of Jesus Christ.Through three remarkable paintings - Decision, The Young Michelangelo, and Rise from the Dust - this book walks the reader through the decision to follow Christ, the calling God placed in them before birth, and the rising from whatever has buried them. Together the paintings form a visual curriculum of preparation for the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.The movement traces its roots to 1893, when a pencil was placed in the hand of a three-year-old boy in the Bronx - Claude Buck, who would become one of America's most documented painters, with works in the permanent collection of the Smithsonian American Art Museum. His student Buck Paulson, a former professional baseball player who had barely held a brush, became a master artist and longtime PBS painting instructor. Buck Paulson's son Timothy - raised in his father's studio, formed by the lineage - founded the Totality Art Movement and wrote this book.Dr. Paulson holds a Doctor of Ministry from Emory University's Candler School of Theology and a Master of Divinity from Liberty University. The book includes the movement's founding manifesto, covenant questions for personal reflection, and an invitation to every reader - regardless of Christian tradition - to prepare.The paintings are instruments. The prepared soul is the point.
