"The Colorful Apocalypse is a chronicle, providing an unparalleled look into the lives and visionary works of some of the Reverend Howard Finster's contemporaries : the self-taught evangelical artists whose beliefs and oeuvres occupy the gray area between madness and Christian ecstasy." "Greg Bottoms weaves a true narrative as powerful as the art of its subjects, a work that is a travelogue, a series of revealing biographical portraits, and a profound meditation on the chaos of despair and the ways in which creativity can help order our lives."--Jacket.
