Published by Ligonier Ministries in 2023, after Sproul's death, as part of the Crucial Questions series; Ligonier describes it as drawn from his teaching. It explains why Christians should care about the arts, with God as the source of beauty, and how to think about music, books and film. Ligonier has given away the ebook editions of the series free since 2013.
