5 stars. Hands down. 

How do you even give a review on a book like this that does it justice? Or, how to you write a review that's not longer than the book itself? You simply can't. If you want to get a peak at what's in store, just look at how many quotes I added from this book. I think it makes up about half of it altogether. 

L'Engle has left me utterly speechless. It took me a few months to get through this book. It isn't a "read in one sitting" type of book. If it is for you, then you have something great going. I liked to read a chapter, and let it sink in. It is just dripping with rich truth. 

I'd highly recommend for the Christian artist---you won't be disappointed.

In this classic book, Madeleine L'Engle addresses the questions, What makes art Christian? What does it mean to be a Christian artist? What is the relationship between faith and art? Through L'Engle's beautiful and insightful essay, readers will find themselves called to what the author views as the prime tasks of an artist: to listen, to remain aware, and to respond to creation through one's own art.

Stunning in Its Vulnerability 

I have been a fan of L’Engle’s work for a long time. I may have even read this book before, but at a point in my life where I consumed words just for the sake of consumption, savoring nothing. This book means so much more to me now that I dare to be an artist in my own way. I feel encouraged to be faithful, relinquish control, and know through admitting that I don’t know.
