Creative Theology: The Book

“This is more than a book – it’s a journey through art, creativity, and the story of God. Not only will Creative Theology bring greater meaning to the work of the artist, but it will inspire and reawaken the inner artist of those who’ve forgotten that they’ve been created in the image of the great Creator.”

Scott Hodge – artistpastor, activist

“It is beautiful. I love the writing, the design… everything!”


Paul Stewart – lead pastor of The Gateway Church

“I can’t tell you how much I loved Creative Theology. I read all three sections in one sitting and have gone back several times to read through each part. Sam is encouraging and helpful in his writing but also gives these glimpses of ‘what might be’ which got my heart racing. This is a beautiful book in every sense of the word.”

Chris Vacher – Director of Worship at Orangeville Baptist Church, Founder of WorshipRises

“In the future, books will be a collision of content and art. Thanks to Sam Mahlstadt, the future is here. In this book, he helps us see the divine origination of creativity in the most beautiful format you could imagine.”

Ben Arment – Founder of STORY and Dream Year, author of Church in the Making, and creator of Four Stones.

…this book is sure to help the reader regain confidence in living out who the Creator called us to be.”

Perry Ross, Worship Director at Lutheran Church of Hope

“The design – beautiful and creative.
The content – felt like I was dropped into the Garden.
Takeaway – I’m inspired to go create something.”

Gary Molander – Founder of Floodgate Productions and author of Pursing Christ. Creating Art.
