Description
Your imagination matters.
Contrary to popular perception, the imagination isn't just for kids, artists, or fans of science fiction. Rather, it's what bridges our thinking and feeling, allowing us to do everything from planning a weekend getaway to remembering what we ate for breakfast.
In Imagination Redeemed, Gene Veith and Matthew Ristuccia uncover the imagination's importance for Christians, helping us understand who God is, what his Word teaches, and how we should live in the world today. Here is a call to embrace this forgotten part of the mind as a gift from God designed to bolster faith, hope, and love in his people.
Explores an often-forgotten part of the mind and a neglected topic in conversations related to the Christian life
Draws on biblical and historical precedents to argue for the importance of the imagination
Helps Christians discipline their imaginations so they can resist what is evil and pursue what is good
Coauthored by a literature professor and a pastor
