Through personal anecdotes, theological musings, and reflections on her own writing process, L'Engle illustrates how art can be a powerful expression of faith.
She challenges readers to view the act of creation as a holy, transformative practice and emphasizes the importance of seeing divine inspiration in everyday creative acts.
The book encourages artists to see their work as a spiritual exercise, one that requires dedication and openness to divine inspiration, and argues that good art, regardless of its creator's faith, speaks to the glory of God.
