Join the 150,000+ people who have discovered a way to pray with the right side of the brain!
Praying in Color forever changed the way people pray—and will change your life, too.
Maybe you love color. Maybe you are a visual or kinesthetic learner, a distractible 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. Maybe your prayers feel more like a list for Santa Claus than a love letter to God, or you're just bored with the same old prayers you've said since you were a toddler. Maybe you're not sure that anyone out there is listening, or you just feel deep in your bones a hunger to know God better.
The prayer practice Praying in Color® was born when Sybil's desperation to pray for family and friends intersected with her love of color and doodling. Praying in Color® invites the whole body into prayer and gives you a new way to be with God.
This revised, expanded edition of the bestselling, groundbreaking
Presents double the wisdom and insight from Sybil MacBeth, from fifteen years of experience praying, teaching, and leading workshops
Includes a foreword by Lauren F. Winner, author of Girl Meets God
Brings a sense of fun and delight into prayer time
Gathers our mind, body, emotions, thoughts, and spirit into the same space for a while
Is ideal for praying on your own or in small groups, church fellowships, hospital rooms, university classrooms, prison ministry, elementary schools, and so much more.

"It would not be an overstatement to say that Praying in Color rescued my devotional life from nonexistence. . . . I've given away more copies of this book than I can count." —Lauren F. Winner

Fun, cool ideas, need to practice more before I lock in the "love it"

Great for ideas
All the ways I feel inadequate in prayer were listed in the first few pages, immediately telling me I had the right book. I've always been somewhat embarrassed to pray out loud as the words feel somehow wrong. As a visual learner praying through art makes immense sense and even just reading the book seemed to lift a weight off of me. My conversation with the Lord can be through drawing and doodling. What's in your heart may not be easily verbalized, but I can draw it!

The whole 100% of the book wasn't necessarily useful, but this is a great introduction to a different way of praying!
