Faith and the Arts

The Creative Spirit


Thanks to my friend Joy Morin for this recommendation! While the title of the book appears to be focused on writing, it speaks to the heart of the creator spirit – whether it be writing or other creative endeavors.

Although first published in 1938, the authors ode to the importance of the creative spirit for the sake of the creative spirit is a fresh reminder in todays content-driven world.
