The Crowd, The Critic And The Muse: A Book For Creators by Michael Gungor

5.0

This is a wonderful book for anyone who creates - and really, in some ways, that's all of us. Michael Gungor talks a lot about faith, art, and the things that shape us (particularly in America). He looks at how to balance all the voices that clamor at an artist, and he intelligently and gracefully cautions against getting swallowed up in cultural factors like technology, capitalism, and celebrity. He then holds out landlines that help keep all artists connected to their true passions and ideas - doubt and love, for example. This book is as beautiful, challenging, and true as Gungor's music. This is one I'm going to read again and again!
