This is an off-the-wall application of one person’s growth in the Christian faith that offers the reader an insight into their own faith as it relates to life, themselves, and others. The book offers a quite candid interpretation of various selected art forms such as paintings, musicals, and popular songs and offers a guide for others to consider or look at art around us from a faith (Christian) point of view, which does not exclude other faiths like Jewish, Muslim, and others.
“Bill Ragsdale has gifted us with a remarkable book…
