Front Cover
InterVarsity Press, May 3, 2001 - Religion - 120 pages

Discover God's creative design for your life! God created people to be creative. Not just self-described "artists". Everyone. Even you. But to enjoy the creative life God intends for you, you must free yourself from creative blocks--inhibitions, fears and patterns of sin. You must open yourself to Christ's inspiration. In The Creative Life Alice Bass provides insight, encouragement and experiential exercises to help you identify and overcome your creative blocks. She shows you how to establish an environment that nurtures your individual creativity. Through journaling, Scripture studies, reflection, and a wide array of imaginative activities she inspires you to give your talents to God and allow his creative spirit to transform every aspect of your life. You can use this book on your personal journey or with a small group who want to grow together. The Creative Life will give you the tools you need to live creatively and wholeheartedly for God.
