The Artist’s Way is often the first book recommended to spiritually-minded folks looking to rediscover inspiration or cure a bad case of writer’s block. It’s right there in the subtitle: “A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity.” I can’t count the number of readers who have asked if I’ve done it, or if I’d recommend it.

The answer is no, and also no, because that “spiritual path” comes with a decidedly Christian worldview.
