1.0 out of 5 stars Stick figures and alphabets, February 14, 2004

This review is from: Raise a Banner to the Lord: 60 Dynamic Banner Designs for Worship Settings (Paperback)

What a pathetic book! Nothing but stick figures and scripture on banners. Absolutely no designs to work with. Anybody can cut out and glue words to fabric! The large pictures in the first half of the book are duplicated in smaller print in the second half. I wasted my money. Don't waste yours!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for the non-liturgical church, May 24, 2005

This review is from: Raise a Banner to the Lord: 60 Dynamic Banner Designs for Worship Settings (Paperback)

I have been creating banners with designs from this book for several years, learning as I go. Though we are not a liturgical church, the banners follow the "church year" and would be well suited to a more formal church as well. For others in more contemporary settings such as ours, there are many usable designs to fit various size spaces. The design elements include graphics with a brief text; the purpose being to provoke thought. I would certainly recommend this as a very usable tool.
