Drawing as Prayer - Connect with God Through Art

A practical book offering a step-by-step guide to connecting with God through drawing. With more than 75 biblical prompts and exercises, this is the ideal book to add creativity into your prayer practice. In a period of doubt, difficulty, trials or change we can struggle to find the words to pray. Instead, DRAWING AS PRAYER helps us to offer our worries, desires and gratitude to God in the form of artwork. Each page provides a prompt, inspired by scripture, designed to open up new ways of connecting with the Lord. Drawing can be the ideal way to uncover feelings and emotions that you may have otherwise had difficulty expressing. There is no need to be a good artist. Just to pick up the pencil and make some time to quietly and authentically sit with God.
