Reviews
"""Over many decades, Bruce Herman has gifted us with a huge range of paintings that combines subtlety and profundity, along with a theological richness all too rare today. Here he adopts the role of the letter-writer, and with characteristic insight and compassion, leads us deep into what he calls the 'holy terror' of making art."" -- Jeremy Begbie, Thomas A. Langford Distinguished Research Professor of Theology at Duke Divinity School and coeditor of The Art of New Creation ""Bruce Herman has given us, and future generations of makers, an invaluable gift. Years of wisdom and advice given to countless young artists and those who care for culture have been compressed into this book. I am indebted to Bruce for what these letters teach me as an artist."" -- Makoto Fujimura, artist and author of Art and Faith: A Theology of Making"

'You must unmake in order to make.' 'Time to bring out the dynamite.' These gems of artistic counsel—the antithesis of cheap praise—have enhanced the lives of students, colleagues, and friends fortunate enough to know Bruce Herman. The epistolary wisdom in this volume ensures that more lives will be ornamented with such rugged counsel as well."" -- Matthew J. Milliner, professor of art history at Wheaton College, author of The Everlasting People"
