Here are some of the comments we have recieved about our Christian Fine Art.
Sandra Joy Perini is a gift to the people of God. In a day when
artists are often running from the church, she has run to it...
teaching, inspiring and encouraging with her amazing gift. I rise up and
call her "blessed" not only for her amazing gift, but for the God I see
because of it. H.R. Rookmaaker and Francis Schaeffer taught us that art
is valuable in itself and Sandra's art is that. But all beauty is
worship of the Creator. And Sandra calls forth worship with her art.
Enjoy it and be blessed by it.
Bless,

Just recently we put up "Tetelestai" in a huge Sunday School Department at First Baptist Atlanta where Dr. Charles Stanley is the Pastor. He loved the artwork. It says so much. We have it displayed next to a huge banner of the Ten Commandments. It is making an impact. People stare at it and realize that Christ died for them. I had the opportunity to share the gospel of Jesus Christ with a pretty rough looking youth. It was such a visual that the youth said that he understood the meaning of the cross. He understood that is where all his debt was paid. The literal meaning of "tetelestai" is "the debt is paid, or paid in full." The art piece invokes a response. Hopefully, the youth will truly repent of his sins, and fully understand that Christ came to pay his sin debt in full. Tetelestai made the witness more real.

I
just want to thank you for the wonderful work of art depicting Christ’s
substitutionary work on the cross. I have had numerous people comment on how
the nailing of all the different types of sin paints a very vivid picture of
Christ’s love for us. Rarely can someone see it and not take time to reflect on
its meaning. Thanks again for your wonderful work!

On
behalf of New Testament Baptist Church, we want to let you know how grateful we
are that you and your sister-in-law were so willing to donate such a beautiful
piece of art. The Telestai Cross is a great testimony of what
Christ did on the cross for “Us All”. We will display this work of
art with great pride, so that everyone can witness in person His
agape love!

Mrs. Perini,
The church I Pastor, Sawdust road Baptist, recently gave me one of your pieces of artwork for my birthday. "Tetelestai" Cross Sculpture
I saw it while in Ridgecrest North Carolina shopping in the Life Way Store and said to one of our ladies jokingly that it would look nice in the Pastor Study.
When I look at the artwork each day I will be reminded of what I have already experienced in my life some 25 years ago because of the finished work of Jesus on the Cross at Calvary…
Ephesians 2:13 says; “But now in Christ Jesus you who were once far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.”

"Not since Footprints in the Sand has an artistic piece portrayed the personalized aspect of our relationship with our Redeemer, and further, in such a fashion as to bring us face-to-face with the faults and frailties of our human flesh, allowing the Holy Spirit to convict us so consciously."

FROM HERE TO ETERNITY:
This Creation, From Here to Eternity by Sandra Perini is Blest By The Father.
It speaks to a Life Everlasting.
It Truly shows the Freedom and Beauty that awaits us in Eternal Life.
The Tranquil Waters and The Fruit of The Garden pour forth The Glory of God.
As a Musician and Songwriter, I Love that it shows the Children of God enjoying the Heavenly Kingdom.
It shows the Beauty of The Garden.
Musicians playing, people laughing and Animals running Free, this is Truly the Way God Intended it to be.
This piece conveys the Blessings that await us in The Father’s Love.
The Blessing is Eternal Life.
Peace Be With You,
Francesco Giovanni
Already clients have displayed their sorrow ,when I explained to them why the Christian sculpture was not hanging above the staircase. " I sold it " I told them "oh no" they exclaimed" .....but then I reassured them that another cross sculpture is on it's way.
There reaction confirmed mine...I could not bare the absence of this cross....not only the absence of it's Beauty, but also the absence of the Love that radiates from it!!!.......What greater Love do we have but this....'JESUS CHRIST CRUCIFIED....THE SON OF THE LIVING GOD....THE ULTIMATE EXPRESSION OF THE LOVE OF OUR FATHER, TO US !
If we could only grasp a fraction of this Love...our faith would never falter......
Thank you Sandra Joy for your obedient heart...for creating such a powerful Biblically inspired artwork.......pouring out His blood....pouring His Self out........for Us!
"Oh Father help Us to realize the Fullness of this SACRIFICE!!! and to 'BE' worthy of it!"
IN JESUS NAME, Tracee Froehling
