At
Shaw we believe that we reflect God's character when we express
ourselves creatively. For over thirty years we have published
ground-breaking books on faith and art from authors such as
Madeleine L'Engle, Leland Ryken, and Luci Shaw. With superior
writing and a strong biblical foundation, our Writers’
Palette books invite you to celebrate the truth and the beauty
of a God who first makes himself known to us as Creator.

 A
Life of Distinction
By Lewis B. Smedes
We
all have some idea of how we want to live our lives, and how
we want others to think about us. We want to live honorable
lives marked by virtuous qualities like integrity, courage,
and gratitude —qualities of which our parents, our children,
our spouse, and we can be proud.
None
of us wants to compromise, or to settle for less than our
best. Yet the burdens, demands, and disappointments of life
too often beat us down, causing us to lose a vision for our
lives.
In
A Life
of Distinction, noted author Lewis B. Smedes calls
us back again to the character our hearts long for, reminding
us that we can become the people we want to be. In these pages,
readers will find stories of people just like them—people
who have faced life’s hardest moments. Readers will see
how these ordinary-yet-extraordinary people responded with
integrity to life’s greatest challenges and will discover
how they can do the same, tapping into their inner reservoirs
of character and allowing God to shape their lives to glorify
him.

 The
Creative Call
By Janice Elsheimer
Perhaps
you're a "closet writer" who's been scribbling in journals
for years. Maybe you once had a passion for playing the piano
or violin--a passion that is still flickering somewhere deep
inside you. You may have a knack for photography, drawing,
gardening, cooking, or some other creative gift. Or you may
long to express yourself creatively, but have yet to discover
your unique talents.
Your
creativity was meant be used. Whether you are an artist who
has already identified your gifts or you believe that you
have artistic talent that has never been developed, working
through this book will help you grow closer to becoming the
person God has designed you to be.
