Giveaway – Pursuing Christ. Creating Art. by Gary Molander
As I’ve told you before, 2011 was a big year for me when it came to reading. I set out at the beginning of the year to make reading a real priority and gathered books (physical and digital) I wanted to get through.
“Pursuing Christ. Creating Art.” by Gary Molander was not originally on my list but towards the end of the year I had heard so many great things about it, I decided I needed to include it on my reading list. I was not.. not.. NOT disappointed. To be honest, once I started reading, I could not put it down! (Actually, to be accurate, once I started reading I couldn’t close my Kindle app.)
The more I read, the more excited I got. The more I read, the more I wanted friends of mine to read it. The more I read, notes and quotes were posted on twitter and facebook. Thanks to the beauty of social media, Gary and I were able to connect that day over twitter (him, @garymo, me, @chrisfromcanada) and I made sure he knew I thought the book was really important and I wanted more people to read it.
PURSUING CHRIST. CREATING ART. is written for people who are living in the intersection of the Christian faith, and the creation of art. By their nature, artists look at a life of faith differently, and that unique journey warrants an exploration of what it means to be a Christ-follower and an artist. The book intentionally veers away from tips and techniques and formulas, while concentrating on the journey, the mystery, and the heart.
Thanks to Gary’s generosity, I have got three copies of “Pursuing Christ. Creating Art.” to give away to my blog readers. Not only will you get the book but Gary has offered to autograph them personally for you so you can brag to all your friends!
Enter below – the contest is open now and I’ll announce the winners on Thursday, January 19. Some of these entries can be done once per day so make sure you’ve got as many chances as possible to be one of the winners!

I’ve been told I need to add this to my list of books for the year. I’m shooting for at least 15 books, but hoping to blow past that.
We just bought a bunch of books. This would be a great addition to our collection! Thanks for sharing and giving.
This book is amazing!

I would love the opportunity to read this book. I don’t watch the bachelor, but that just means I might actually read it since I am not trapped on the couch.

It’s on my birthday, so I should definitely get a copy!
This book sounds incredibly interesting to me. I’ve dedicated myself to growing my abilities in performing worship music through 2012 so I think I’ve heard about it at the right time! Thanks for posting about it.

I’ve heard great things about this one. It’s on my list this year, so an autographed copy would be even better! Thanks for sharing, man.
Have heard great things about this book – thanks for running the contest!
Being an young artist and business owner, I am always looking for opportunities to continually pursue Christ first and art second. Continually seeking that balance, hope to snag one of these!
I love books, especially free ones :) To be honest, I’ve never heard of this book, but glad that you’ve mentioned it. Even if I don’t get it for free, I’ll be adding it to my Amazon wishlist to purchase this year.
It’s on my reading list. Might as well go for the free option.
Seems like a great book.. Hook me up!!!
This book sounds awesome. Would love to win it!
Awesome! Love reading Gary’s blog posts, but haven’t gotten the book yet. Would be great to win a copy.
1. I love to read
2. I’m your friend
3. I know the lyrics to O Canada
Enough said-pick me
There are some many books out there, it always helps to go off recommendations. I value your blog and would love a signed copy to read!
What impressed me most about this book is that I am neither a leader or a creative artest (at least not in the formal sense) and there was a wealth of stuff in it for me. I read it in one day, have now reread it more slowly and am probably going to start a third reading.
Whether I win or not, this is a book I must read and review.
