Inhaltsangabe

Connect the Spiritual and Color!

&;Just as Julia Cameron, in The Artist's Way, showed the hardened Harvard businessman he had a creative artist lurking within, MacBeth makes it astonishingly clear that anyone with a box of colors and some paper can have a conversation with God.&; &;Pubishers Weekly

Need help communicating with God? Maybe you hunger to know God better. Maybe you love to doodle. Maybe you are a visual or kinesthetic learner, a distractable or impatient soul, or a word-weary pray-er. Perhaps you struggle with a short attention span, a restless body, or a tendency to live in your head. Praying in Color is a guidebook for a new way of approaching prayer, not a coloring book. Draw your own path to God, doodling your prayer requests, moments of gratitude, Scripture study and more.

This prayer form can take as little or as much time as you have or want to commit, from 15 minutes to a weekend retreat. &;A new prayer form gives God an invitation and a new door to penetrate the locked cells of our hearts and minds,&; explains Sybil MacBeth. &;For many of us, using only words to pray reduces God by the limits of our finite words.&;

Use Praying in Color to help with:
&; lectio divina
&; memorizing Scripture
&; prayers for discernment
&; creating a personal Advent or Lenten calendar
