In this compact and inspirational book, C.J. Pitts presents beautiful drawings, each one illuminating a specific Bible verse, along with the author’s brief explanations about her art.
The drawings vary in style and technique, including pointillism and hidden face (a picture within a picture). Pitts highlights spiritual themes with bold colors, striking shapes and Christian symbols; such as a fish, which evokes the biblical command to be fishers of men.
One drawing shows a woman sleeping in bed with a peaceful expression. Her white hair is in the shape of a lamb. The calming shades of light blue and purple lend the scene a special tranquility, recalling God’s peace in our hearts. Another colorful drawing shows a beautiful Queen Esther, covered with symbols like a flower, snail shells, and a red apple. There’s also a poem about a caterpillar, symbolizing transformation and dying to sin in order to be reborn and soar with beauty. In another drawing, Adam and Eve are depicted in black as mirror images, facing each other. Later in the book, we see Adam and Eve in stark white after the fall, facing away from each other.
For anyone who is a visual learner, the art will make the biblical teachings even more meaningful and memorable. It’s a unique and effective approach. The author’s drawings and words can inspire us to pray and praise God in song and dance. Her book offers genuine hope and reassurance to Christian readers and spiritual seekers. However, it’s not for readers who don’t wish to hear proselytizing.
Pitts tells us that by accepting Jesus as a personal savior, we can be forgiven for all our sins and be born again, completely clean. This is the way to get to heaven after dying.
