KINGDOM: The Rise of the Creative Church

by Andre Anderson

Throughout the ages, our world has been drastically transformed by the creative pursuits of a few. Samuel Morse was the man who took us from sending letters by foot to pushing a button. David was the man who took the nation of Israel from being creative novices to world-class artists. Jesus was the man who taught many how to live meaningful lives, through the medium of storytelling. What do these men and many more have in common? They all boldly stated that their good-ideas were God-ideas. The Rise of the Creative Church explores the relationship between Christianity and creativity. In this book, we will go throughout history to retrace the footsteps of those who sought to change the world through creativity. The Rise of the Creative Church poses itself as a summoning to the 21st century church, to cultivate godly inspiration and in force create a culture-shift in our modern day.

This book is so different and that is a big part of what I loved about it. It's fairly short with what I like to call bite-sized chapters, able to be digested in short sittings. Structurally, it's laid out like one of the poetic books of the Bible, similar to Isaiah. The thoughts in here are all related to the creative church, but it's more than just a call to creativity, it's a call to honoring God with our creativity, while living righteous lives. Anderson shows many examples straight from the Word that show us people who created faithfully and times when people forgot themselves and started worshipping the creation over the Creator. I absolutely loved this book. To be honest just the artist's prayer contained with it's pages is probably worth the cost of the book, but there is so much more here. I really hope this young author writes more books, because this one was extremely innovative and very strong.
