Art & Prayer
The Beauty Of Turning To God
Prayer comes naturally to human beings; it is a spontaneous impulse common in all people. Yet, beyond instinct, there is a kind of prayer that is conscious and articulate, that we have to be taught. There is an "art of prayer," when faith and prayer become creative responses of creatures made in the image and likeness of their Creator relating to him with help of the imagination.
Monsignor Timothy Verdon explores these essential interactions in the magnificent book. Explaining the images work in believers as tools teaching them how to turn to God, and aided by illustrations of fine art throughout the centuries, Art & Prayer explores in detail how prayer can become the fruit of a sanctified imagination–a way of beauty and turning to God.
