The Innocence Mission: The Brotherhood of Man
by Andrew Peterson 04
From the Proprietor:
This is an album review from my good friend Ben Shive, whose musical opinion holds a lot of water in my book (a mixed metaphor that is so strange a picture I decided to leave it). I have The Innocence Mission’s hymns record, and it’s in regular rotation on Sunday mornings [...]
Backstage in Dallas
by Andrew Peterson 02
I’m sitting behind the merchandise table backdrop in a gigantic church building, nursing a cold.
We just finished soundcheck a few minutes ago, and I have a little pocket of time before I have to go shower and eat dinner before tonight’s concert, so I thought I’d fill you in on what the Christmas tour has [...]
The Book of the Dun Cow, Walt Wangerin
by Andrew Peterson 30
Walt Wangerin is a name I’ve seen in print many times. My dad had Ragman and Other Cries of Faith lying about at home for years and I remember thumbing through it at Christmas or Thanksgiving, reading bits here and there, and being intrigued by the style of writing; the words on the page [...]

Creative Intent, Part Two: Flowers and Sacraments
by Andrew Peterson 16
This discussion is continued from yesterday’s post by Russ, “Creative Intent: What Are You Thinking?”
————————
…your thoughts about the questions Russ raises are fascinating. I’d love to add something equally fascinating to the discussion but I don’t think I can. I don’t think. Here’s what I do think.
Art, like the artist, and like the [...]

A Restless Evil
by Andrew Peterson 13
Boy, that title sounds dramatic, doesn’t it? Like the title to a P.D. James murder mystery or something. It’s easy to imagine that title being about Satan, or about Terrorism, or about Greed, or any number of shadowy, forked-tongue devils that creep in the corners of our lives.
Today, I had an encounter with a [...]
This is a Fork. A what? A fork.
by Andrew Peterson 12
A what? A fork. OH, a fork.
Do you guys remember this game from our camp/youth group days? Randall and I included a reference to it in our new silly song pitch to the VeggieTales folks, and not one of the four guys in the room had ever heard of it. The [...]

Facing the Truth
I went to the doctor yesterday for the first time in years. That doesn’t mean I haven’t been sick; it means I’m the kind of stubborn fool who doesn’t like to take an ibuprofen for a headache, the kind of crank who would rather walk around squinting and snappy than to take the blasted aspirin. I just don’t like medicine. I prefer sweating it out, however inconvenient that is for the people around me. So after ten days of coughing and sniffling and whining I finally decided it must be a sinus infection. I have a show in a few days, and I can’t afford to be sick. So I bravely did what any man in my shoes would do: I asked my wife what to do. She told me which doctor to visit and I drove to the offices with a steely resolve. The nurse behind the sliding glass window handed me the clipboard with the dreaded New Patient Paperwork, and then the thing happened that made me want to write this.
The questions began. “Do you have any allergies?” “Do you drink caffeine?” “Do you use tobacco?” “If so, how often?” “Do you exercise regularly?” “Is there a history of heart disease in your family?” “Have you had any surgeries?
