Whether you’re a pastor, ministry leader, or volunteer with a heart for creative communication, “Gospel Design” will inspire and equip you to use your God-given creativity to spread the good news of Jesus Christ. – Josh Starr, CEO of PixelPainters.co

Josh Starr deeply believes in visual storytelling. He knows what is good, right and beautiful in all things design. Whatever we do ought to be done thoughtfully and with excellence - I Corinthians 10:31. I have personally experienced his intentionality and devotion to the visual arts. We must get it right in these categories, therefore this book is a must read. Dive in and discover why good aesthetics, typography and color matter. God did not give us an antique black and white world but one full of glorious color and thoughtful design. God is not boring neither should our gospel design be either.

Daniel S. DumasCEO & Founder of Red Buffalo

Dear Reader, What does design have to do with the gospel? Everything! As Christians, we believe that every human on the planet was created by God, made in His image for the single purpose of worship. But then Genesis 3 happened: with the fall entered sin and then separation from God. The gospel is the reorientation of our lives to do what we were created to do. Our relationship with God is restored through Christ so that we can worship Him in every aspect. My hope for you is that, with Josh’s skilled guidance, you will tap into his knowledge and expertise in order to lead and manage your brand, your communications with excellence as worship unto the Lord. Dont miss this outstanding resources and all that Josh and his team have to offer through Gospel Design and PixelPainters.

Design itself won’t save people. There’s never been a typeface alone that’s changed a person’s eternity nor has there been a logo smart enough, use of color theory harmonious enough, swag cool enough or a post clever enough to forgive sins. Salvation isn’t found in kerning. However, design matters! After all, we are, in the words of Tolkien, sub-creators made in the image of the Creator. Our creative means matter! Josh Starr helps us understand that the divine creative is reflected in our branding, bulletins and church buildings. Our websites are more than the info they contain, they’re pixels placed to show people Jesus. Josh allows us to remember that design reflects the Great Designer and that while Comic Sans may not be a tool of Satan, well-executed design can be a vital means to advance the Gospel.
