Let There Be Art

Christian Living

“The God of the Bible is at once everywhere and elusive, ever present and yet sometimes so very hard to find. For seekers whose words echo the psalmist’s cry, ‘My soul pants for Thee, O God!’ Rachel Marie Kang’s Let There Be Art is a cup of cool water in a dry and thirsty land. Let There Be Art is an astonishing book. Kang’s writing has a lyrical quality that pulls the reader along from one chapter to the next, reaching crescendos in prayers and poems that challenge the mind and stir the heart. Her examples from art and culture encourage a reframing of the mind that helps us consider all of life as a reflection of the divine spark we carry within us. Her personal stories draw us in so we feel that her family becomes our family, her experiences become our own experiences. Let There Be Art helps readers longing for God uncover a thousand different avenues for finding God’s creative beauty and divine presence in the people around us and their own reflection of the image of God. In Let There Be Art, Rachel Marie Kang has taken on the role of the Good Samaritan, stooping to bind wounded souls and offer hope for better times to come.”
