"Prayer of the HeART invites us on a pilgrimage, an inner adventure, a way of prayer that gives us eyes to see God's presence and guidance within our own hearts. Kelly Schneider Conkling's approach is accessible, practical, and gracious. Even those of us who can't seem to draw a straight line receive encouragement for allowing art to open our hearts."—Mary C. Earle, author of Beginning Again and Broken Body, Healing Spirit"A very special prayer method that employs exercises of visual imaging to aid in communication with God. Especially commended for those engaged in Christian Dialogue, meditation, prayer and reflection."—The Midwest Book Review"Interesting artwork abounds throughout the text."—Episcopal Life
