Praying in Color March 10, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I read a summary about the book in Christian magazine. I did not purchase it for myself, but for my mom-in-law. I gave it to her for her birthday. A few weeks later she told me it was "right up her alley". That tells me that it will be a blessing to her.
Thanks!

This book is so creative and fun. I love it.
It is easy to read and begin to put into action.
It would even be fun to use with children.

In going thru a divorce after 22 years and not being in touch with praying since my childhood I've realized thru books and classes that something needed to change to get me back on track with my life. I'm blessed in having friends support me in prayer and searched for how I could also feel comfortable praying again and this book has helped me so much. I am a very visual thinker and this book allowed me to feel comfortable in putting my thoughts and prayers into my doodles. I don't worry about it looking pretty or presentable or what others will think if they ever saw one--I just draw and color. This new found method has been a gift to me and allows me to really focus on my prayers. If you are at all visual in your thoughts or thinking, this book will get you jump started in allowing you to dialog with God. I have been blessed with an artistist flair and I'm now talking with God thru the gifts he gave me!! I can't think of a better way to communicate.
What a blessing October 23, 2007

After I saw this book reviewed in our local paper, I picked up a copy. I love to write & I've been told I'm good with words; but it's so hard to stay focused when I pray. Life constantly creeps in around the edges and distracts me, the words that I want/need evaporate, and I'm left feeling that I've wasted God's time.
Today, I spent my lunch hour "testing" the prayer icon approach and I'm delighted to "report" that it was very spiritual, as well as soothing, calming, and uplifting. The concepts in this book offer me a way to blend my doodling nature, my passion for colors, and my collection of quotations/Scripture in order to enhance the quality of my prayer life.
Maybe not for everyone, but definitely something I will use again and again. Please, don't be put off by the visual simplicity of this small volume. There's wonderfully complex depth to be absorbed.
