“The double question*we must always ask is, `How does faith inform art?'*and `How can art animate faith?'”
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 “work in tandem, each feeding on and nourishing the other.” Faith*informs art and art enhances faith. They both, for each other, are “breath for*the bones.”
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.
