Everything Could Be a Prayer

"Pray and meditate along with mystics and saints through this luminous collection of more than one hundred block prints by artist Kreg Yingst. Teresa of Ávila, Howard Thurman, Black Elk, Fannie Lou Hamer, Simon of Cyrene, and Jarena Lee: through radiant woodblock prints of these and other icons of the faith, artist Kreg Yingst ushers us into God's presence. In Everything Could Be a Prayer, mystics who have communed with Christ and who worked for justice, mercy, and liberation come alive. Yingst carves images onto blocks of wood or linoleum and then inks and prints them on paper. The resplendent portraits of mystics and justice-seekers that result lead us into visio divina, or 'sacred seeing.' This form of ancient Christian prayer, in which one meditates on a work of art, moves us into sacred reflection and action." --.
