I found Dr. Goslin's book to be very inspirational, interesting and thought provoking. I highly recommend this book to anyone with an interest in living a full loving and spiritual life. A good read!

White-bordered spreads that show a small boy painting alternate with full-bleed spreads depicting what he has painted: a bird, a snake, a fish, a star, all of which come to life. When he paints a door, it opens and he steps into the painting. Beautiful illustrations in rich colors enhance this tribute to the power of creativity.
