Overview

Your one extraordinary life hinges on the fact that, ""In the beginning, God created."" As a Christian Living resource, BEING CREATIVE is a riveting book geared toward writers, makers, creative adults, and those processing a new and faithful perspective of creativity. It drills into the soil of Biblical anthropology, sampling God's own priority for being creative and making humans in His own image.

Being creative inspires us to bring a thriving thoughtfulness to life. BEING CREATIVE is a unique look at how God in Christ is the source of all creativity. Find out where scripture indicates that the human impulse to create is a reflection of the Creator's image shaped inside of us. ""The book offers a path toward fulfillment and purpose. It will help readers develop a strong awareness of the sacredness of their creative endeavors."" - Arya Fomonyuy ""Laura Bartnick's writing will make anyone change the way they look at their talents, no matter what they are."" - Rumoald Dzemo This book replaces negative identities about one's creative self with more constructive Christ-centered ones.
