“Wow. This book is everything I had no idea I needed to hear. I work as an illustrator for Christian children’s books and can get so bogged down in the literal work of it that I get distracted from the heart of what I’m doing. This book so beautifully draws out how important it is for creators to break away from that rush and paints such a clear vision for creating art for God’s glory and His kingdom. I love the prayers at the end of each page that draw out applications as well. I’m so excited to read this book again and again and plan to start reading a page each day before I sit down to create in order to remind myself who I am creating for. If you are an artist or writer or singer or crafter or any other type of creative, this is a must read. I received an early complimentary copy of this book through Alabaster’s Influencer Program but will be purchasing more for friends because y’all, it’s really that good.”
“All that is made is a wonderful guide through times when creativity is at its peeks or lows in a world when technology is part of our every event. The three parts of the book talk openly about what it means to be an artist and believer in this century when social media platforms are becoming solid tools to share our craft.
All three chapters bring the reader ( believer or not) closer to the Act of Creation performed by God daily in our lives. Our contribution to bringing the consumer closer to God's magnificent creation and kingdom happens even when we aren't aware- may it be any sort of social media post that someone sees and they are moved by it. That specific reaction we generate in someone's heart and mind is the power we have as artists.
The book beautifully underlines how these days we are given the ability to reach communities ( people and places) throughout social media. Just as Jesus, we explore the unknown, knowing our God did the same before us. Remembering this is what keeps us focused as artists and gives us a vision for the future.
As a Christian who had a portrait and wedding photography business and now a small shop online , this book makes an impact teaching me about parallels and perspectives of my creative act. It reminds me that my gift of being creative comes from above. The desire to create and share the results with the world is a personal desire planted in my heart and mind by the ultimate Creator.
