The Art of God (Hardcover)

by Ric Ergenbright (Author, Photographer)

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review
Renowned landscape photographer Ric Ergenbright here turns his attention to the holiness reflected in the beauty of the natural world. Combining scriptural passages with photographic and scientific observations relating to the elements of nature, Ergenbright uses his dramatic, often astonishing photographs as a testament to the power and perfection of God. Though he recognizes that "if all Scripture were lost, we could still know something of [God's] character by carefully studying the works of his hands," Ergenbright uses the book to emphasize how God's Word can illuminate the world around us. This beautiful coffee-table book is a wonderful addition to any nature-lover's collection, and the detailed notes throughout are an education to any aspiring photographer.

Product Description
Through stunning nature photography, this attractive gift book captures God's expression of his character in the created world. Ric's award-winning photographic talent is combined with Scripture and devotional thoughts to move both the heart and the mind. Included with the full-color photographs is information about the various locations, natural formations, and elements of the scenes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Creation through the Lens of the Bible, December 4, 1999

By	Daniel J. Dillard (Bend, Oregon) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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!

5.0 out of 5 stars ...The Skies proclaim the work of His hands -- Psalm 19, October 30, 1999

By A Customer

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Art of God, August 11, 2000

By	[e-mail] (ID USA) - See all my reviews

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.
