Comments on: Welcome to the Rabbit Room http://www.rabbitroom.com/?p=23 The Rabbit Room Wed, 08 Sep 2010 23:19:45 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7.1 hourly 1 By: Jacob Luna http://www.rabbitroom.com/?p=23&cpage=1#comment-64679 Jacob Luna Thu, 17 Dec 2009 23:30:13 +0000 http://www.rabbitroom.com/?p=23#comment-64679 Dear Mr. Proprietor, Your words and music have truly encouraged me. I've been a long time fan of both Lewis and Tolkien. The Lord has used their tales to reveal himself to me time and time again. It's inspiring for me to hear that have impacted others in the same way. Not only that, but I wish to find more artists who strive to allow the beauty of the gospel to be displayed in their work. You seem to search, exhibit, and support such artists at the rabbit room. I've popped in every once in a while to check the posts, but reading your welcome has inspired me even more. You seem to have begun a fine establishment here. Thank you. Sincerely Dear Mr. Proprietor,

There's apparently a new book in which this essay appears as well, called <em><a href="http://astore.amazon.co.uk/tolkienbnet-21/detail/0007244665" rel="nofollow">Tolkien on Fairy-Stories</a></em> by Verlyn Flieger and Douglas A.

As an artist I get so tired of life with people who never understand what I'm trying to say, or what I want them to see... people who look at things so beautiful and profound and just "don't get it"... It maks me happy when I find places like this where others see what I see! Thanks again! Thank You so much for being here!

Thanks for the website. As an adult without Christ, I reached out to the arts. I knew they beckoned, they promised I would find Something … somehow, somewhere … But they circled in on themselves, a promise unfulfilled, breeding deep despair and a doubt of my own sanity. Jesus changed that. (And btw God used your Far Country CD to cut through my despair on a deep level.) Now what a joy it is to see Christian artists work in service of God and His Kingdom. It brings out the Hope of what is to come, the Promise, the Seal of which we’ve already received… Andrew, This is good stuff. Thanks for the website.

I appluad the great works of the artists involved with the Rabbit Room and those they lift up for our edification. Jesus was clearly a master of storytelling - we call them parables. Beautiful in their simplicity and timeless in the application of the messages. Thanks for carrying on his example through this website. Already, you have greatly accomplished a worthy goal by stimulating me to think in new ways, to reach out and discover the insights of tremendously creative people.
