PURSUING CHRIST. CREATING ART. is written for people who are living in the intersection of the Christian faith, and the creation of art. By their nature, artists look at a life of faith differently, and that unique journey warrants an exploration of what it means to be a Christ-follower and an artist. The book intentionally veers away from tips and techniques and formulas, while concentrating on the journey, the mystery, and the heart.

Refreshing
May 13 2013
By John Voelz
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I was not asked to review this book. But, I feel compelled to. How did I miss this book release over a year ago? Oh, I know. I stopped caring about books about artists and church a while back. There are a plethora of books, blogs, and loud voices making noise about how the church has missed the mark and doesn't know what to do with artists. I'm tired of those sob stories. So, I stopped reading books about artists in the church for a while. They only made me angry and anxious. Sometimes sad. Then I picked up this book. How refreshing. This book has helpful advice for the artist struggling with his or her identity and roll in the kingdom. Not bumper-sticker wisdom, not pithy grabbers, not 7 or 12 or 21 habits or laws. Good, solid, biblical advice drenched in humor and transparent stories full of self-disclosure. I highly recommend this book to any Jesus follower who is an artist (P.S. Notice I didn't say it the other way around. Jesus comes first. Gary does a good job of making Jesus the priority). The book reads like a collection of short stories with regular interruptions by rhyming voices so it had my attention all the way through. You should buy it. I dare you.

I bought this book at a time when I was frustrated being the Tech Director at my church. I read a sample chapter and bought the book immediately. Gary gets it. He gets art. He gets Christ. He gets ministry. I "found it/find it" to be a very useful tool for navigating the intersection of art, faith, and the current church culture. "Pursuing Christ. Creating Art." left me excited and energized to continue down the road of returning visual art to the church. I loved it so much, I also bought copies for my pastor and worship pastor.
