I'm like Linda, and struggle with drawing - but the concept is really attractive, not least because one of the most profound prayer experiences I've had involved being invited to draw with the "wrong" hand (and so with no expectations of artistic success) something to reflect my response to a retreat day.
I definitely need a touch of life and creativity in my prayers at the moment - do hope the book is available in the UK.

Anne, I love your doodle/drawing/prayer work of art! I have never done this but can see how it could help engage one's 'entire self' more and I think I will try this! I used to know a girl who did this sort of thing, this was maybe 12 years ago or so....she would then hang her 'art' around her apartment,sometimes on the inside of cabinet doors - places where she would see them during her normal routine. I thought it was great and I borrowed the idea in a way myself, though not the coloring/prayer part...but I would put certain scriptures on paper inside my kitchen cupboards or inside my bathroom medicine cabinet. I think I will go back to that but add in prayer art. Thanks for sharing this!
That's really cool! I want to try it...
