Review # 1 was written on 2013-10-13 00:00:00 Mark Caruso I love the concept and the art work and design is wonderfully done. But there is something sort of slight about the writing as if in trying to tell the story of redemption from many angles McGrath seems to not get deep enough. It is more of an exploration or meditation on the subject than a discussion of it. And that may be exactly what was intended, to allow the reader to explore and meditate on the topic through art, literature and discussion without forcing any hard and fast conclusions. But for me it seemed at times like the author wanted to have a philosophical and doctrinal discussion only to quickly switch to a more literary or artistic perspective. The two were not contrasted and compared as blended; at times awkwardly. But given the difficult topics involved perhaps it is only to be expected that a short work like this would not delve too deep but rather hint at lines of thought and offer introductions to artists and writers who have tackled these issues.

Review # 2 was written on 2010-05-04 00:00:00 Elliot Bergen This book is geared toward the youth of today. High school age or early college aged teens. It offers suggestions on doing the work of God and encourages teens not to sit back and watch life pass them by or get caught up too much in the secular world.
