Synopsis
Akiane: Her Life, Her Art, Her Poetry by Bruce Larson features the inspired paintings and poems of Akiane Kramanik, who suddenly started painting at the tender age of four, after she proclaimed to her stunned family, “Today I met God”. This child prodigy’s art has been displayed in many exhibitions, and is world famous. The inspired paintings and poems of Akiane, who was born in 1994, have great depth and often prophetic dimensions. Akiane: Her Life, Her Art, Her Poetry by Bruce Larson is a collection of the poems written by this savant onwards from the age of 7, and large photographs of the lifelike paintings made by her from the age of 6. Besides the child prodigy’s art, this book also shares with the reader the atheistic Kramanik family’s journey from doubt and skepticism to faith in the supernatural. Akiane: Her Life, Her Art, Her Poetry by Bruce Larson focuses on her life's vision, which is to share with you the love of God, and challenge you to believe in the divine.

Publisher's Note
"Today I met God." Akiane was just four years old when she made that bold announcement to her formerly faithless family. Needless to say, their lives haven't quite been the same since.
Overwhelmed by her stories of the supernatural, yet unable to find any other explanation for her indisputable artistic ability, the atheistic Kramariks faced a dilemma: either they believe her or remain in skepticism and doubt. "Where God takes me," Akiane explains, "He teaches me to paint."
Akiane's artworks have been in many exhibitions and sell for upwards of one hundred thousand dollars. The paintings are often created in conjunction with a poem. The depth and imagery of her poetry rivals that of a laureate and their meanings at times resound with prophecy.
While most of her time is spent painting and writing about her spiritual experiences, she remains innocently unaffected by the public recognition. Instead, she chooses to focus on her life's vision: to share God's love with the world.
