Making something beautiful in a broken world can be harrowing work, and it can’t be done alone.
Over the last 20 years, Andrew Peterson has performed thousands of concerts, published four novels, released ten albums, taught college and seminary classes on writing, founded a nonprofit ministry for Christians in the arts, and executive-produced a film - all in a belief that God calls us to proclaim the gospel and the coming kingdom using whatever gifts are at our disposal. He’s stumbled along the way, made mistake after mistake, and yet has continually encountered the grace of God through an encouraging family, a Christ-centered community of artists in the church, and the power of truth, beauty, and goodness in Scripture and the arts.
While there are many books about writing, none deal firsthand with the intersection of songwriting, storytelling, and vocation, along with nuts-and-bolts exploration of the great mystery of creativity. In Adorning the Dark, Andrew describes six principles for the writing life:
- Serving the work
- Serving the audience
- Selectivity
- Discernment
- Discipline
- Community
Through stories from his own journey, Andrew shows how these principles are not merely helpful for writers and artists but for anyone interested in imitating the way the Creator interacts with his creation.
This book is both a memoir of Andrew’s journey and a handbook for artists, written in the hope that his story will provide encouragement to others stumbling along in pursuit of a calling to adorn the dark with the light of Christ.

If you don’t think you’re an artist, this book will help you see that you are and God gave you the gift of creating beauty.
This is a beautifully written and inspiring book about the value of art and our place in creating it. There is so much dark in the world but there is also beauty. It is our responsibility to push away the dark by creating beautiful things that draw our eyes to the light.

This books also indirectly gives insight into his inspirations for the Wingfeather Saga. He doesn’t explicitly talk about the novels however you can catch nuggets of why the world building is how it is via his life experiences, which was a pleasant bonus.
