Making something beautiful in a broken world can be harrowing work,
and it can't be done alone. Over the last twenty years, Andrew
Peterson has performed thousands of concerts, published four
novels, released ten albums, taught college and seminary classes on
writing, founded a nonprofit ministry for Christians in the arts,
and executive-produced a film-all in a belief that God calls us to
proclaim the gospel and the coming kingdom using whatever gifts are
at our disposal. He's stumbled along the way, made mistake after
mistake, and yet has continually encountered the grace of God
through an encouraging family, a Christ-centered community of
artists in the church, and the power of truth, beauty, and goodness
in Scripture and the arts. While there are many books about
writing, none deal first-hand with the intersection of songwriting,
storytelling, and vocation, along with nuts-and-bolts exploration
of the great mystery of creativity. In Adorning the Dark, Andrew
describes six principles for the writing life: serving the
workserving the audienceselectivitydiscernmentdisciplineand
community Through stories from his own journey, Andrew shows how
these principles are not merely helpful for writers and artists,
but for anyone interested in imitating way the Creator interacts
with his creation. This book is both a memoir of Andrew's journey
and a handbook for artists, written in the hope that his story will
provide encouragement to others stumbling along in pursuit of a
calling to adorn the dark with the light of Christ.
