Being Creative

Your one extraordinary life hinges on the fact that, "In the beginning, God created."

As a Christian Living resource, BEING CREATIVE is a riveting book geared toward writers, makers, creative adults, and those processing a new and faithful perspective of creativity. It drills into the soil of Biblical anthropology, sampling God's own priority for being creative and making humans in His own image.

In story after story, Being Creative shows us how and why an artistic soul is a breath of God, and that creativity is a medium in which we encounter God in precious and profound ways. Being creative inspires us to bring a thriving thoughtfulness to life.

BEING CREATIVE is a unique look at how God in Christ is the source of all creativity. Find out where scripture indicates that the human impulse to create is a reflection of the Creator's image shaped inside of us.
