The Art of God: Reflections on Music, Diversity, and the Beauty in You
By Jimi Calhoun and Paul Louis Metzger

About this ebook
The question then becomes, how will we live together?
Quite often the presence of difference results in the avoidance of the other.
Many accept this as simply a natural occurrence, but in the world of art, difference does not always trigger division. Art encompasses multiple disciplines and forms. Art welcomes diversity within its borders.
This book traces the evolution of art and music, then extracts principles from a musical motif to encourage the development of an artistic worldview that recognizes the beauty residing in everything and everybody.
