I’m working on a new devotional book–a sort of creative prayer journal: Colored Pencil Prayers. I will have the blog page of detailed information up over the weekend (in plenty of time for Black Friday and Cyber Monday which I have ambiguous feelings about, but anyway . . .).

In the meantime, I can tell you that Colored Pencil Prayers will give instructions and prompts for five different types of creative arts prayer–all using, yes, colored pencils. Along with the instructions and prompts, I will include an example for each type of prayer, and I would love for those examples from this blog community.

So here is the deal: a free Colored Pencil Prayers book for the first five volunteers. (Shipping within the U.S. is included; international shipping is negotiable–I need to check rates.)

Volunteers agree to:

1. Receive instructions for one type of creative prayer practice.
2. Let me know if anything in the instructions is unclear (or misspelled).
3. Engage in the described prayer practice using a 4″ X 4″ piece of white paper and colored pencils. (Black pen can also be used if you want.)
4. Send me a quality scan of your prayer creation by November 29. (Please do not volunteer if you have doubts about making this deadline.)
5. Grant permission for your prayer to be used in the Colored Pencil Prayers book.
6. Send me your address so I can mail you your book!

Are you excited yet?

Volunteer by clicking the “contact” tab above and filling out the brief form. That way I have your email address.

**Friday morning update: We have enough volunteers now. Thanks!**
