Book Review: Adorning the Dark by Andrew Peterson

 

Adorning the Dark by Andrew Peterson - 3.5 to 4 Stars

I really enjoyed this one and gave it 4 stars but upon sitting with it, it is more of a 3.5-4 star rating for me. I found much of what he said relatable, even though I am not much of a music person and he explained more of his life and music career. While this wasn't as engaging as many other Christian Non Fiction books I have read, I still really enjoyed the audiobook because it had signing and he narrated it himself. It was really like a memoir more than anything. I am a very creative person too, so much of his thoughts on creativity, discipline and faith were relatable. I would have liked a bit more on community I think but really liked learning about his own experiences. Personally, the chapter on discernment was the most impactful for me. Overall, an encouraging read!

Favorite quotes:

"Love the Lord your God, and love your neighbor, too, by making worlds and works of beauty that blanket the earth like flowers. Let your homesickness keep you always from spiritual slumber."

"Maybe the song you're writing is for one specific heart-broken soul who won't be born for another four hundred years." (Relatable for YouTube Videos/Bookstagram/Book Reviews etc)
