As I began reading this book I realized this was written from a wordly perspective (New Age) and is not a Christian book! Yes, the paintings are beautiful but it was very disconcertaing to read that various people the author quoted were not Christians or scriptural. Beware new Christians, this is not a book for you. I returned this book and received a refund.
