From the Back Cover

"I have neither the creative impulse nor the technical skills to craft expressions of faith like those pictured and described in Faith Books & Spiritual Journaling. But this beautiful book has challenged and inspired me to honor—and record—more thoughtfully the work of God in my own life. Visual images created by gifted artists tied together with Mindy Caliguire’s delicate ribbon of words remind me that prayerful pursuit of God is worth our best investment of time, energy and creativity." - Lynne Hybels, Willow Creek Community Church, author Nice Girls Don’t Change the World

5.0 out of 5 stars Altar-ed Books, February 20, 2007

By	Julia Lupton "design-your-life.org" (Irvine, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Some beautiful art work in this collection. The perspective is deeply Christian, so those of us on the periphery will have to tread carefully. Still, great projects like the prayer board will translate well to anyone in search of religious reflection through design and self-publishing.

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent title, August 11, 2008

By	anonymous (Seattle WA USA) - See all my reviews

this book is an excellent title with great photos, great text, and great projects. i seriously recommend it to any woman of faith or woman's group (or men!) seeking to meditate on and express their faith through art projects. even as a new mother with very little free time, i find myself often thinking and flipping through this book for ideas to create sooner rather than later. deeply Christ-centered and beautiful expressions of faith.
