Paintings, film, music, sculpture, and other kinds of art exist only for decoration or entertainment. Occasionally, we pause and consider art's spiritual meaning--then move on to other things. </p><p>But what if the arts were meant to play a more prominent role in the Christian life? What if God cares as much about art as He does about words? About the heart and the eye and the hand as much as the brain?</p><p>In <i>Discovering God through the Arts</i>, you'll discern how works of art offer faith-building, life-changing, and soul-stretching spiritual formation for all Christians.
