Working with clay, paint, crayons, or pencils, artists have long known that the act of creating art can help people explore the deepest recesses of their hearts - and bring about real change in their lives. Michael Sullivan discovered the power of art for himself in the midst of grieving the loss of a young parishioner. Ever since, he has been using simple art projects as a form of prayer and a way of helping others explore what God may be saying to them.

Windows into the Soul is a practical, hands-on resource for those who want to explore this means of prayer and contemplation for themselves, approaching the process not as an artist but as a spiritual seeker. Readers will find projects in various media, including clay, charcoal, and acrylic, including not only technical directions, but a gentle guide to the spiritual gold to be mined from the experience.

Industry Reviews

"In a time of the slamming of doors in religion, it is refreshing to read of the opening of windows. The mystics understood that God is the artist-the poet-of the World. Since we are made in the image of God the artist, each of us is an artist of sorts, each of us is a work of art! The disciplines of our art-silence, attention, compassion, fierce truth-telling and love-help us celebrate the awesome joy and privilege of being human. This eye and heart opening book will help us be whom we are called to be and will show us the way home."
-Alan Jones, dean of Grace Cathedral
