For fans of The Return of the Prodigal Son, this classic book by legendary author Madeleine L'Engle addresses the questions. What is the relationship between faith and art? What makes art Christian? What does it mean to be a Christian artist? Through L'Engles's beautiful and insightful writings, readers will find themselves called to what the author views as the prime tasks of an artist and a believer: to listen to, to remain aware, and to respond to creation through one's own life in a deliberate manner.

Taking the stuff of everyday life, L'Engles's reflections on God and art put flesh on the invisible experiences of love and loss and lets readers see that the hand of God is even nearer than they could imagine.
