In October 2019, Peterson published his first non-fiction book, Decorating the Dark: Reflections on Community, Calling, and the Mystery of Making, through B&H Publishers. Through stories from his own journey, Andrew shows how these principles can be helpful not only to writers and artists, but to anyone interested in imitating the way the Creator interacts with his creations. This book is both a memoir of Andrew’s journey and an artist’s handbook, and it is hoped that his story will inspire others who stumble upon the call to adorn darkness with the light of Christ.

In 2008, out of a desire to foster a strong Christian arts community, Andrew founded a ministry called The Rabbit Room, which hosts an annual conference, numerous concerts and workshops, and Rabbit Room Press, which has published Thirty books.

I’m pretty sure this is from my friends Rusty and Sara Osborne, who are already big fans of his music and fantasy books. It took me a while to hear one of his songs. I do not like it. (Sorry Andrew, please don’t have this attitude towards me if I’m lucky enough to meet you). [1] It took me a while to listen to Andrew Peterson again, and it was a completely different experience. His voice becomes more beautiful, more sincere, more pleasing with every poem, every new song. Also, I found his lyrics to be some of the most thoughtful, poetic, and beautiful words I’ve heard in my life. After his long repetition

Ymb #55 Story And The Redeemed Imagination: A Conversation With Andrew Peterson

I finally started turning to some of his other music this spring and I was hooked. I bought it

To my kids, I’m getting ready to read ASAP. I received his latest book last Friday,

Like Peterson’s music, I’m really not sure what the book will bring. The subtitle “Reflections on the Mystery of Community, Summoning, and Creation” seems like a pretty big goal for a short book. Likewise, Amazon’s summary puts a lot of emphasis on the writing process, even though it falls under the “mystery of making” category, adding to my interest and suspicion that someone can accomplish so much in such a short page. I was wrong. again. Maybe I should expect the success of someone who can put so much truth, goodness and beauty into a three-minute song. Also, when I started reading the book, I found that Peterson also told a lot of personal stories to illustrate his point. I found his transparent, sincere and humble approach both helpful and inspiring.

My short comment is that writers of all kinds (not just songwriters) and Christians of all gifts (not just writers) should read this book for what it brings to the Christian life, the human condition, the value of community valuable insight, and the beauty and power of words. My long review, well, I really don’t want to write that. Regardless, it doesn’t do the book justice. So instead, here’s my “medium length” review, which, in the style of Peterson’s book, is more personal than academic (hence my intentional use of constriction, which I usually hate).

Peterson’s book is exactly what I need at the exact time in my life when I need it. God often does these things. With my ever-growing reading list, I often don’t really know why I picked up a certain book and not another to read. Sometimes it can be a coincidence, but I have no doubt that this time it was providence. God knows I need this book at this time. Of the book’s many valuable insights, a few stand out, mostly because the margins of my book read: “Wow! I need to hear this!” “I need to hear this too!”

First, Peterson writes: “Take your heart away from all the things you think you need to achieve what you call financial security, your social status. Ignite your expectations, your rights, and even your dreams.” When all this is gone, it becomes clear that the only thing you really have is this wild and the Holy Spirit whirling in you, urging you to follow his winds” (2-3). I find myself in a difficult phase of life where my wife and I have been praying deeply, frequently, and fervently to the Lord for leading. My own fears are that he answers again and again, but my fears of financial security make me deaf to his voice. As I read Peterson’s words, my eyes filled with tears as I asked God to speak again, and I began to hear whispers.

Second, Peterson writes: “You can’t blame your equipment. You can’t blame you for not having time. You can’t blame your upbringing. Either you’re willing to manage God’s gift to you by stepping into the ring and fighting for it, or You spend your whole life training, cashing in excuse after excuse, until there is no time, no battle, no song, no story” (125). Faith is not a strong enough word for how I feel in this regard. My lack of time has been an excuse to hide my God-given gift under a basket and shove it under the bed. I won’t do it again. I am ready to fight. I’m ready to quit training and get into the game. I’m ready to let this story out of my head and onto the page. I would like to thank Andrew Peterson.

So thank you, Andrew. For my other readers, go buy and read his book, then please share your thoughts in the comments section or on our Facebook page. I would love to have a conversation about his book.
