THE BOOK

‘Drawn to Imperfection’ is a unique book that weaves together compelling storytelling with evocative artworks.

We are introduced to 21 different characters from the Bible. Author, David Painting offers a creative retelling of an aspect of each characters story, allowing us to see their humanity and vulnerability.

Through storytelling and art, both languages of the heart, we are invited to see God afresh, alive amidst the complexities of our own humanity.


A look inside…

The book includes a diverse mix of characters that cover the story arc of the Bible from Genesis to Revelation.

Each chapter begins with an introduction to the character and threads the sweeping story of the Bible together.

Available in hardback and paperback, the book can equally be read cover to cover or dipped in and out of, encountering each character at your own pace.

We really hope you find this book helpful and that it gives you fresh ways of seeing.
