It Was Good rightly encourages the reader to see their art from a biblical, Christ-centered perspective. It provides, not one, but a range of scriptural rationales for the creative―a compass and series of maps to steer by that's anchored in biblical thinking. It provides numerous perspectives to help the believer stand firm and grow spiritually in the creative performance industries. You won't agree with every word―in fact the book is brave to be willing to contradict itself on occasion―but every essay will require contemplation and an active response from the believer. I believe It Was Good: Performing Arts to the Glory of God is a must-read for every performing arts creative who wants to root their career and creative journey in their faith. Unlike other books I've read on the subject, this one is very accessible and meaty. You will come away satisfied by the contemplations and personal experiences that this book has to offer. "This is a wise book written by experienced practitioners who have been in the trenches of creating art from a Christian worldview. It ain’t easy, and if you want to try it, I suggest that you read this book." -- Max McLean, founder & Artistic Director, Fellowship for Performing Arts John Calvin wrote, "The world was no doubt made, that it might be a theatre of the divine glory." But how might a creative individual hit his or her marks on that stage in a way that would bring glory to the Creator? This book presents theological and practical insights for all who work in God's Glorious Theatre - whether it be in film, on the Stage or in Television. Creative Director of Square Halo Books.
