The arts belong to the Christian life. And in 'The Liberated Imagination' author Leland Ryken explores the God-ordained significance of art-its nature and purpose in relating to truth and everyday life. For both artist and audience, for student, teacher, and critic, this book is a road to discovering how participation in art and the imagination leads to a more intense sharing in life's riches, a deeper celebration of all that God has created, and a new awareness of the wideness of his grace.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wsite-multicol-table-wrap\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOpening Lines:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe arts belong to the Christian life. We sometimes think of them as an extraneous luxury, but they have a strange way of asserting themselves in the most threatening of circumstances. When our humanity is in danger, the artistic spirit suddenly lives. The arts give us something indespensible to life. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Imagination Investigation Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46794894475490,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0734\/8348\/5410\/files\/NonFictionLiberatedImagination-Ryken.jpg?v=1776614000","url":"https:\/\/yvbmmp-18.myshopify.com\/products\/liberated-imagination-by-leland-ryken","provider":"Imagination Investigation Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
