review 1: The list of books on creativity and productivity is basically endless. While there was nothing revolutionary about this short book, Altrogge does a good job of writing a practical and honest book for those who desire to use their creativity for the Lord. It's so short that I read it over the course of a couple of hours, and since Altrogge prefers the indie route to publishing, this book is only $3. Overall, I'd recommend this for those aspiring creative types who are looking for solid, no-gimmick advice on how to grow in their craft.
review 2: I downloaded this little ebook when it was free and read it over the course of two or three days this past week. It is a quick read and contains some helpful meditations on work, creating, and hindrances to producing art ... morefor the glory of God.For the most part, the book aimed to be a series of 10 quick kicks to the pants of anyone who is wondering when they should try to create their first (or next) work. Aimed squarely at Christians, Altrogge encourages his readers to get started, to be okay falling short of perfection, and to share their work with others. The most powerful chapter in the book for me was the second one, where Altrogge writes about how fear is often a barrier to creating. He anchors our identity in Christ, rather than as successful or failed "makers," and from this vantage point he tells us to get going. less
