Praying in Color: Drawing a New Path to God: Expanded and Enhanced Edition

by Sybil MacBeth, Lauren F. Winner (Foreword)

“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.” — Publishers Weekly , starred review  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.

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"

[Ann Trick · Rating 5 out of 5]

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!
