Synopsis

Break from the norm. Recover your identity. Express your creativity.Contemporary Christianity seems to be suffering from an epidemic of sameness, uniformity, and monotony. Those trapped inside are often afraid to step beyond established norms and express their creativity, and those on the outside often see little that attracts them. Yet God, out of the abundance of his own creative force, made each one of us unique, peculiar, and irreplaceable. So why so much pressure to conform?Bandersnatch* explores this intersection of disillusionment by inviting listeners on a journey of liberation. It’s organized around four creative terms viewed through the life of Jesus: avant-garde, alchemy, anthropology, and art. Each expression reveals a diverse facet of God’s unorthodox creativity planted within us.Providing a fresh look at God’s avant-garde nature and a new set of definitions by which to live, Erika Morrison gives us permission to break free from the expectations and labels that cramp our souls. Only in embracing our uniqueness can we create artful, holistic lives that matter to both heaven and earth.*A bandersnatch, while more commonly known as the wild, ferocious, and mythical creature of Lewis Carroll’s creation, is also a person with unconventional habits and attitudes.

Goodreads review by Michelle on October 14, 2015

Honestly, I didn't know what to expect or what to think when I first started reading Bandersnatch. Because I know the author and I are very different (I'm very pragmatic and black-and-white; she seems more free-spirited), I wondered if I would be able to relate to the content of this book. It seemed......more

I could swoon about this book for days, and I have been. It was beautiful. Stunning. Engaging. Magical. Powerful. Inspiring. Challenging. Convicting. Life-changing.

Goodreads review by Paula on October 21, 2015

I'm more familiar with the jaberwocky, but another mythical creature introduced by Lewis Carroll is the bandersnatch. It's a fairly wild creature with unconventional habits, and in this book we're invited to embrace our inner bandersnatches, figuring out who we are deep down rather than just going w......more

Goodreads review by Laura on October 07, 2015

I promise you won't be disappointed with this read. This book will challenge every fiber or your being, thought patterns, and the core of who you really are. It will require time, thought, a lot of tears, and prayer. It will be one of my forever reads on my nightstand alongside my Bible. Every word......more

Goodreads review by Colleen on October 07, 2015

This book is pure gift for the soul looking to find its way back tp pure unadulterated love with its Father Creator. As soon as I started reading, I felt the cosmos begin to shift, bringing me back to my beginnings. I sat outside under the fall sun and closed my eyes and pretended that God invented......more
