\u201cI am not an artist.\u201d This has been my mantra for decades. But I do love to doodle and to add color to my\u00a0doodles. A\u00a0dozen years ago I combined\u00a0my doodling with a desperate\u00a0need to pray for my friends and started to \u201cpray in color\u201d by accident. My\u00a0accidental way to pray became my regular, intentional way to pray\u00a0and I wrote the book Praying in Color: Drawing a New Path to God<\/em>\u00a0(2007).<\/div>\n<\/header>\n
\n

I figured if even I could doodle, anyone could. After leading more than 150 workshops and retreats, I have met people who are uncomfortable even doodling. But many of them like to color. So I drew\u00a0some coloring pages\u00a0with ideas about how to pray using the pages and posted them on this blog. They are in the\u00a0Handouts <\/a>section.\u00a0In the past six months I drew\u00a032 coloring pages\/templates with about 30 pages of prayer\u00a0instructions and\u00a0the result is\u00a0a \u201cpraying in color\u201d coloring book called Pray and Color: A Coloring Book and Guide to Prayer.\u00a0<\/em>It will be available mid-May for purchase but can be pre-ordered on the\u00a0amazon<\/a>\u00a0or Paraclete Press<\/a> websites.<\/p>\n

Here is the cover. I\u2019ll post some examples of the\u00a0templates in the next few weeks. Please Share this post with others. Thanks.<\/p>\n

\"Coloring<\/p>\n

Note: I noticed there is another coloring book also called Pray and Color, so check the author before ordering. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
