Title: Cover to cover in 15 minutes
Review: Yes, I am a speed reader--but 15 minutes? I didn't learn anything that I didn't already know, and that was disappointing. I suspect that this little book is actually a sermon that was written down and published. Here it is: Four points based on Exodus 31: 1) The artist's calling is from God 2)God loves all kinds of art 3)God maintains high standards for goodness, truth, and beauty, and 4)art is for the glory of God. The book elaborates briefly on these points. This is not a bad book; in fact, I agree with the premise, it is a topic that is important, and the little tome is well-written. If you know nothing about the topic, this book is an excellent morsel to whet your appetite. If you have any knowledge at all about the subject, better to pass on this one and look for something more substantial. This might very well be the book for you, it just wasn't the book for me.
