Review:
The first thing that grabbed my attention was that cover and the tag line. My all time favorite book (Walking On Water by Madeline L’Engle) is also a book about the arts and faith. I was drawn in. This book is laid out in a series of essays and art thrown in for impact and illustration.
“The Creator God has given us creativity and the arts so that we may “name” experiences, just as God commissioned Adam to name the animals in the Garden” (page 39).
This quote kind of brings the books central message into focus and helps guide the path through this book. This book is not one you just read or go through, but it is one that breathes and walks with you through your own journey of discovering your God given creative talent.
If you are on a journey and looking for a well to draw from then read this book to help you understand what faith and art look like interwoven in life.
