Kelly Schneider Conkling is an Episcopal priest in the diocese of West Texas and a frequent leader of retreats and workshops on prayer with art. In "Prayer of the HeART", she draws upon her experience and expertise to create a devotional guide to a very special prayer method that employs exercises of visual imaging to aid in communication with God. Techniques of visual prayer and journaling are described and taught through simple exercises. Chapters are developed around themes taken from the work of a fifth century monk named Macarius. Illustrations show what different individuals have experienced in their exercises and prayers. "Prayer of the HeART" is a new interpretation of an ancient idea or discipline. The reader is invited to create art as a result of experience of God, through visual imaging. Thus they become familiar with the concept of heart spirituality. "Prayer of the HeART" is especially commended for those engaged in Christian dialogue, meditation, prayer and reflection.
