Summary: My first Madeline L'Engle read. I was pleased. :)
Review: My roommate has been in love with Madeline's writing for years, so I just had to see for myself if she was as good as he said she was. Thankfully, I found her to be as enriching as C.S. Lewis at times and as articulate as Brennan Manning. A whimsical, mystical read that explores the kind of faith Peter had when he looked to Jesus and walked on water. Clearly for the artists, writers and those deeply into art as a means of expression vital to the growing Christian's faith, this book will make you think, make you guess and make you question what you really believe about the All-mighty and All-creative power of God.

Summary: Food for the mind and soul.
Review: Out of all of Madeleine L'Engle's non fiction works, this one, apart from "Circle of Quiet" is the one I return to most often. Taking a broad and ambitious topic, the definition of a 'Christian Artist', L'Engle candidly talks about faith, creativity, and many other ideas that are important to her. For anyone who struggles with a creative vocation of any kind in particular, this book is a light shining through the dark tunnel of doubt and fear. L'Engle, as usual, does not attempt to provide final answers. But the questions asked and the personal journey undertaken in the pages of this book provides encouragement, laughter, and a good deal of spiritual refreshment for the creative journey.

Summary: Mindless Babble
Review: The absurdities that leap from the pages of this book are staggering. For example, she says "Atheism is a peculiar state of mind; you cannot deny the existence of that which does not exist. I cannot say 'that chair is not there', if there is no chair to say it about." Such simpleminded nonsense is typical of what you'll find in this book. As I tossed this piece of drivel in the trash, I thought "that book is not there any longer". Only if this simple concept is beyond you as well, does Ms. L'Engle warrent your attention.

Summary: As much of an inspiration for Christians as for artists.
Review: This book should be read by all Christians, as well as all Christian artists. It is the most honest and realistic look at Christianity that I have ever read. I wish that everyone could view the world in such a true way. This is truly an inspiration.

Summary: Inspiring book for all Artists and Writers
Review: This is the one title I will always cherish as a writer. It is quietly inspriring and thought provoking. I have had this book for almost 5 years and still have not finished it (a first for me--I normally read 2-3 books a week!). It is the kind of book where you read a few pages and let them soak in for a time before moving on. It will change your way of living and then change your art.

Summary: Breathtaking.
Review: This is truly an incredible book. I recomend it to all Christians, not just artists, as a beautiful example of how reconcile faith with daily life. I am excited to see that this edition includes a forward by Nichole Nordeman. In the notes to her album, "This Mystery", Nordeman speaks about how this book shaped and influenced her work. I recomend buying this album as a companion to "Walking on Water". If you read it, then listen to the cd, I think you'll agree that Nordeman's work works as a perfect soundtrack to the book. Two incredible women.
