Book Review: Life After Art by Matt Appling

As usual the subtitle gives an accurate synopsis of what the book contains: what you forgot about life and faith since you left the art room.

Written by an art teacher, this book is certainly different. One very good thing that is does is to challenge and stretch your thinking. Who doesn’t need that?

Life After Art is a far cry from a Bible study or devotional guide. It isn’t “billed” as such, so good thing. But coming from Moody, I expected a little bit more along those lines. There are no scripture references at all. There are occasional references to God or to a Bible story character to make me think the author may be a Christian.

The main plus for this book was the way it challenges the status quo of thinking. It addresses things such as the meaning of art, creativity, beauty, laziness and constraints.

If you like to read books that stretch your thinking or that are different than your ordinary devotional or Bible study type of book this book may be just what you are looking for.
