The paintings are stunning. I could look at them for hours. Painting the Psalms is a great book to display or would make a wonderful coffee table book. It would be even better in hardcover.

Burbach's key readership will be the like-minded faithful, though the whimsical, bright collages Burbach presents, offer potentially broader appeal.
