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.

Title: Amazing Book!
Review: I love this book! Every essay has something of value, often something very profound, even if itâs not a topic I find particularly interesting. Gives you lots to think about. I highly recommend for anyone interested in the intersection of faith and the performing arts!
