If there were no words in Ric's book, his breathtakingly beautiful photographs would speak eloquently enough of the glory of our Creator. Ric's prose artistry, however, helps the reader really "see" what he or she is looking at. You'll be treated to solid, well-thought out and Scripturally grounded, practical, and devotional theology, and you'll grow in the knowledge of the Divine Artist!

Discovered this book this week. Can't speak too highly of it.

A large and profoundly beautiful book. A soul-stirring masterpiece. I have never seen anything quite like it.

God reached out and changed the heart of this gifted photographer. This magnificent marriage of landscape and scripture is the result. The narrative is soothing, deep and artfully crafted.

God is glorified here in these pages as His Creation is showcased thru the lens of biblical Christianity.

"Thoreau said, "Read the best books first," and were he alive today I think he would list "THE ART OF GOD" as one of those books; and with it Ric Ergenbright can claim his position as one of the world's great landscape photographers: Ansel Adams would surely welcome him into the "f/64 Club" in a heartbeat. But equal to the stunning photography is the almost autobiographical prose which seamlessly equates the words of the Scriptures to its beautiful imagery. If you can dream of a world you've never seen before, "THE ART OF GOD" will open the door; and the real beauty is, one the book speaks to on every page, its right here on Earth. "THE ART OF GOD" is an absolute masterpiece."

I came across this book while looking for a gift for a friend. I wanted a book that would show the glory of God but would also use the powerful Word of God. I was astounded by the impact this book has in both photography and the use of God's Word. I bought the only book in the store, ordered another one (so I could have one for myself) and will probably give this as a Christmas gift to most of my family and friends. Are any of these photographs available in poster format? I would love to hang some of these on my walls, with the verse from God's Word included. Many thanks to the author for loving God and using your gifts and talents to glorify Him.

This book is full of treats. Not only does it contain breathtaking pictures of God's artistic talent, but the photographer even gives details about how he took each shot. The back of the book is filled with what camera, filter, and setting he used. This is a must have for your coffee table. If you don't have a coffee table, you will want to get one!!!

The photographs are breathtakingly beautiful, and the scripture/text accompany them perfectly. I purchased the book for my future father-in-law who loves God and nature. Everyone who has seen the book wants a copy also. THis is simply an astounishing effort

I can't say enough wonderful things about this book . The photography is breathtaking. The descriptions and written content flow so well with the photos. I can relax with this book time after time and never loose enthusiasim,

Eden may be lost, but Ergenbright's insightful eye for beauty proves that much of paradise is still to be found. Amazingly beautiful nature photographs of every element can be found in this book: skies, bodies of water, cliffs, and even lava flows present the viewer with beauty that only a Supreme God could create. Ergenbright's modest introduction in the beginning of the book and his Biblical passages leave no doubt in regards to his devotion to God as the true artist here, but Ergenbright's own artistic talents certainly cannot be overlooked! I'm a huge lover of beautiful art and Ergenbright's uplifting Christian messages greatly added to the peacefulness of his breathtaking images, luring me into a state of blissful lethargy. This book is truly a wonderful testament of nature's beauty and I recommend it even if you are not a Christian; everyone can appreciate the beauty here, no matter what faith they are.

Familiar as I am with the photographers' work, I was disappointed overall with this debut which offers a study of scripture illustrated by nature photographs. It is a book that deserved MUCH better production than it received.For the price,theArt of God is a decent gift, but if you want to see what it could and should have been like, for such a lofty theme,check out another christians'book which really accomplishes the grand display of God's Creation and thus a sense of His perfection:"Intimations of Paradise ". "Intimations" is the book "Art of God " should have been.

The Art of God by ric Ergenbgight is my most favorite book after the Bible. Even people who do not know Jesus can appreciate the beauty found in this book through the outstanding nature scenes that were photographed all over the world. Mr. Ergenbright is truly gifted by God to bring to life in paper form all of these magnificent places.
