Summary of this Book... | ||
John Eldridge's Epic is a story of the Author, the need for a Story, and the human heart. It explains the need in the human heart for a Story, whether it be a fairy tale, a short story, a novel, a movie, or a play. Eldredge points out that creation cannot be an accident, that our passions and our souls are too complex to be simmered down to a mathematical equation. He also points out that every Story has a Villain, and in this world, in our great Story, we choose to ignore that fact. Everything we know about how to make a great Story is in fact represented in our world - and to be a character in that Epic is an amazing and wonderful thing. | ||
This type of Book is good for... | ||
This book is a necessity for any author searching to know why their heart is built the way it is. Many people identify with the characters in the Story, but as authors - we identify with the Author and His need to create. | ||
I especially liked... | ||
the way the Story was presented. Eldredge breaks the book out into four acts, much like a play. He uses well known movies, fairy tales, and stories to make his points and this makes the book easy to relate to from any background a person could have. The imagery Eldredge is capable of is astounding, and is displayed at its best in this book. | ||
When I finished reading this Book I wanted to... | ||
buy a copy for every person I knew, especially those who create. | ||
This Book made me feel... | ||
like there was a wonderful thing going on around me. I caught myself smiling at the book in certain places and crying at some parts. I am not simply an accident. The world is full of wonders. | ||
