Breath for the Bones e-bog

"e;The double question we must always ask is,'How does faith inform art?' and 'How can art animate faith?'"e;Imagination, appreciation of beauty, creativity: all of these qualities have been given to us by God. For the Christian artist, the drive to create something wonderful is also a means to glorify and better understand our Lord. Using excerpts from her own works as well as those of writers who have gone before her-Emily Dickinson, Annie Dillard, C.S. Lewis, and others-poet and writer Luci Shaw proves that symbolism and metaphor provide ways for humans to experience God in new and powerful ways.Shaw offers a rich and thought-provoking exploration of art, creativity, and faith. Believing that art emanates from God, she shows how imagination and spirituality "e;work in tandem, each feeding on and nourishing the other."e; Faith informs art and art enhances faith. They both, for each other, are "e;breath for the bones."e;Provocative, enlightening, and above all, inspiring, Breath for the Bones will help readers discover the artist within, and bring them further along the path to God Himself.Include s Discussion Questions and Writing Exercises
