Join the 150,000+ people who have discovered a way to pray with the right side of the brain Praying in Color forever changed the way people pray--and will change your life, too. Maybe you love color. Maybe you are a visual or kinesthetic learner, a distractible or impatient soul, or a word-weary pray-er. Perhaps you struggle with a short attention span, a restless body, or a tendency to live in your head. Maybe your prayers feel more like a list for Santa Claus than a love letter to God, or you're just bored with the same old prayers you've said since you were a toddler. Maybe you're not sure that anyone out there is listening, or you just feel deep in your bones a hunger to know God better. The prayer practice Praying in Color(R) was born when Sybil's desperation to pray for family and friends intersected with her love of color and doodling. Praying in Color(R) invites the whole body into prayer and gives you a new way to be with God. This revised, expanded edition of the bestselling, groundbreaking book: Presents double the wisdom and insight from Sybil MacBeth, from fifteen years of experience praying, teaching, and leading workshops Includes a foreword by Lauren F. Winner, author of Girl Meets God Brings a sense of fun and delight into prayer time Gathers our mind, body, emotions, thoughts, and spirit into the same space for a while Is ideal for praying on your own or in small groups, church fellowships, hospital rooms, university classrooms, prison ministry, elementary schools, and so much more.

I've given away more copies of this book than I can count. --Lauren F. Winner. …

About the Author
Sybil can't remember a time when she didn't pray; but sitting still and closing her eyes were not in her childhood-prayer skill set. She loved to memorize Scripture passages, the names of books of the Bible in order, and lots of traditional prayers and hymns. She carried those words with her as a growing vocabulary of faith and prayer. She continues to love to doodle, dance, sing, walk, read, and talk about God. Sybil combines her lifelong love of prayer with her experience as a community college mathematics professor to offer workshops and retreats throughout the U.S. and Canada. Her workshops, both prayerful and playful, engage people of varied learning styles. Sybil is married to Andy MacBeth, an Episcopal priest, and is the mother of two adult sons.
Praying in Color has been translated into Spanish, Italian and Korean. Her 2014 book The Season of the Nativity: Confessions and Practices of an Advent, Christmas, and Epiphany Extremist (Paraclete Press, Fall 2014) invites people to experience the richness of the holiday season at home.
