- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Short and sweet and to the point, but very good. Schaeffer's vision was on-target, by and large, though he got a little hung up at times on conveying propositional truth through art. Thus, his rejection of art-as-tract is right, but as a cultural project his vision failed at least in part because it wasn't truly coherent in his own writing here. Still, this should be on the required reading shelf for any would-be Christian artist.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is a great little booklet. In many senses Evangelical Christianity has relegated the arts to some sort of second-grade existence. Schaeffer does a fine job of debunking those sort of attitudes and relates art and Biblical Christianity. He demonstrates the meaning of art and how and why it should be valued by Christians. A must read for the Christian artist! Warning: If you've read Schaeffer's other works, this content will not be completely new. A different angle, yes, but very similar.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A very helpful book, teaching how to view works of art, not just on their technical side, but on their worldwiew as well. Also teaches Christians to be free in their art as they were created to be.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5As an artist and a Christian, I found this audiobook to be enlightening and comforting as I try to find God's purpose for me as His artist and messenger in this fallen world. As always, I love this author, his excellent presentation and good theology!
