Pardon the self-promotion, but I'm so excited and who better to celebrate with me?
Margot at Hillside Education has just posted In His Image: Nurturing Creativity in the Heart of Your Home available for pre-order ... and our very own Elizabeth did the foreword for it!

Keeping our fingers crossed for this one! WE plan to have them there . . . let's hope God and the printers (bless them, they mean well) can pull it off!

I've just set up a blog, Nurturing Creativity in the Heart of the Home ... kind of a companion to the book (which God willing, will be available at IHM this weekend!)

Mary, I recall your opinion in a past thread about The Creative Family by Amanda Soule. You were so disappointed in how the book (and perhaps other books like it) focused on creativity as important "spiritually" without really acknowledging God as our creator and our desire to create as being in His image.
Is that part of what inspired you to write this book? I clearly remember your reaction and how it helped me see the book through that lense. Just curious!

Yes! Soule's book led me to read other books on creativity ... and there are two types out there: secular, almost new-agey ones that give no credence to a Divine Artist and the other are Christian-based; but there weren't any by Catholic author. So I thought I'd give it a shot .... I'm hoping that mine is for the greater glory of God and His Divine Artistry in creating us in His image and allowing us to be creative.
