The author balances excellent biblical principles with practical applications from his own experience and the experience of others. The church desperately needs to recapture the creativity of true art as a reflection of God's creativity, and this book will help it do that.” <!--[endif]-->

"I found it to be a true (dare I say it?) inspired work. McElroy has done the requisite homework, has reflected on the need for a Christian perspective in aesthetics, and desires to hone his craft with excellence and nuance. And, yes, he helps us remember to call forth the giftings of the Spirit, to rely on God, to find, as he puts it, "divine inspiration." We recommend his book to you."
