Review
3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Thought-provoking readingBy Beth McCormickThe book is a very creative production in itself and then it tells the powerful story of the use of art in blighted areas of Philadelphia to restore some hope to the residents and to inspire others who come to look at the community murals.It is a remarkable integration of theology (aesthetics and ethics. in particular) with art and social justice. beautifullyconceived and written. I was fascinated by the story. the writing and the overall production of the book. Excellent. I highly recommend it for anyone interested in thought-provoking reading. beautifully presented.
