Further Resources for The Contemplative Artist

I have posted this list of resources for those who will attend my breakout session titled The Contemplative Artist this Thursday, June 11 from 1:00-2:30 at Willow Creek's Toward Wonder Art's Conference.

Each of these books represent great introductions to what the contemplative life is about and how to get started. All these books are available on Amazon. Pope John Paul's Letter to Artists can be downloaded from the web.

Since I have posted these resources two days in advance of the session I am praying that we will have a meaningful time together. Wonder on!

Thanks so much for posting this list, Ian, for your listeners at the conference and for those of us who cannot attend. What a great resource. I plan to check out a few of these books soon. I've read a couple already, and I enjoyed them thoroughly. I hope and pray to make use of the new eyes and new heart I have been given. I want to see it and hear it and feel it all. To discover His presence everywhere. Thanks again.

Peace - and traveling mercies as you make your way back home.
