	Works by Milt Wear

Over the last twenty years many books have been written in a attempt to analyze art history and the struggle with relationships between "Christian Arts" and artists, and the church. Few books, if any, have carried the dialog to where it is today where it is relevant fo our modern day world view of our art as a vital and important means of communication, not only within the church body, but outside in the community. Part of the problem lies in the fact that much emphasis has been placed on the art, its saleability and appropriateness, and way less upon the message and its ability to communicate, in its own way, to everyone in this hungry and visually saturated world.

This book provides a collection of stories that gives hope and inspiration to artists who have not yet found their place in this huge community of the gifted ; who have generated a dynamic renaissance world wide- ultimately to recognize the imperative and responsibility to answer God's admonition "Neglect not the gift that is in thee".
