I love anything from Erwin McManus. Just recently, when asked for my favourite book, it was one of Erwin's I could pull from a list of candidates ('The Barbarian Way'. Probably the fact that I'd read it once a year over the four years had something to do with it.

This book is a further development of what Erwin has to share about the creativity of human beings. Whilst not as tightly written as other books by him, there are many good ideas and thoughts to explore as a fellow traveller of one who wants to dream wide awake.

As always with his writing, there is a sense of a quest beneath the surface, which builds up the meaning of what we shall find when we awaken the hero, as: artist, explorer, alchemist, believer, seer, activist, hedonist, romantic, human. There may be some words amongst these that don't seem to belong for a follower of Christ, but read on and you won't be disappointed.
