This book is full of ideas and inspiration. If you are looking for step-by-step banner solutinos, this isn't it, but if you want some great imagery and some useful ideas for decorating a church, this book is a treasure.

I loved this book. It helped me decorate my church in a non-traditional way. Banners can be so boring and two dimensional, the ideas in this book made those days very memorable.

I really like how this book lays out the seasons of the church. It gets your creative energy going in the right direction to add art to the sanctuary and not just with the ordinary ways.
The youth group used the ideas for Lent and placed barded wire on the high shelves. We also hung barbed wire over the altar. (Another year we used thorns instead.) When Easter arrived we wrapped the wire with ivy and butterflies. It made an impression on the youth and everyone else in the congregation. Any time you can impress the youth makes us happy.
The ideas are not difficult, tasteful and cover the year. I would suggest this book to anyone looking for creating art for the sanctuary.
