I loved Creativity by Matthew Fox. I don't agree with everything he says theologically, but it's very inspiring.

Yes, this is my favorite place
artistikitty Comment by artistikitty on April 18, 2008 at 9:36pm
I don't want to take this in a direction which was not intended. Are we talking books on creativity, the process of creating, or books that inspire creativity as well. I could go crazy with the latter. Two books on the creative process that I would recommend are both by Michele Cassou. "Life, Paint, and Passion" and "Point Zero (Creativity without limits)" I have MANY books that aren't on creativity per se, but inspire creativity in me when I read/look at them...other artists works etc.
