A Million Little Ways

Christian Living

“I’m tempted to say that if I’d been handed this book of Emily’s twenty or thirty years ago, I’d have written many more songs and shared them sooner. The idea that I am a poem and so are you, together God’s masterpiece, that all of this life is a walking installation piece, changes the way I think of living, breathing, loving, writing, and singing. It’s gorgeous and freeing, and most importantly, it’s true. And as if the arrow-to-the-heart message of hers weren’t enough, the way Emily carries it home with phrases that read like song lyrics makes every single paragraph a pleasure for the artist in me. She calls me out and up, and articulates the soul of my own struggle with art-making and sharing, even after years of doing it. She makes you want to shine. I’m personally deeply grateful that this book exists and have added it to my short list of must-reads for artists.”
