Think I'll put this book on my Christmas wishlist although I want to read it sooner than that. For me, writing is much more than "how-to." And beautiful writing sparks our creativity even more, doesn't it? Thanks for visiting, Heather. * David, me, too. Thanks for dropping by. I enjoy your blog and friendship across the blogging miles. * Heather, I’m SO glad you shared that. Think I’ll put this book on my Christmas wishlist although I want to read it sooner than that.

This is the first Christian book on creativity that I have read that hasn't turned out to be a "how-to" book. This book contains so much depth of beauty and thought that instead of reading it in a day as I expected (it's pretty thin) it has taken me over a month to get through, and I'm not there yet. He looks at creativitiy from the point of view of a creative God. I have always thought of it that way but, up until now, had not found any others who did. This type of book is also usually written from the perspective of a person involved in drama or music (the arts as used within the church) and written with them in mind. Written from the perspective of a muscician but with an eye on Creator God, this book still speaks volumes to me as a writer and an artist.
