I was intrigued by the title of this book and when I began reading it was even more interested in the concept. I am an artist and I try to be spiritual and pray on a daily basis, but using the Scriptures and other items in art as a way of praying really piqued my curious side. I haven't finished reading the book, nor have I started the lessons, but seeing that I can use my art as a way to have a contact with God is a new and refreshing idea.

For those who are not open to certain ideas about the Christian lifestyle, don't buy this book. Mr. Sullivan challenges your ideas and tosses them out the window. Being a spiritual seeker, this book is ideal for me in my progress and growth in my faith.

Michael Sullivan has written an engaging book that opened my heart to seeing both art and prayer in new ways. The exercises offered are easy access points for those who don't feel creative and would hesitate to call themselves artists. At the same time, experience artists will be inspired by Sullivan's story. The beautifully written chapters offer a wonderful glimpse into the author's spiritual journey. His authenticity and passion were very inspiring.

This is an excellent thought starter. I'm planning to use some of the exercises for my creativity class.
