Down through the centuries, people of faith have known that prayer has many languages, and not all of them have words. Here in Prayer of the HeART, readers will learn to use art as a way to open up a deep conversation with God. This book is not about "art" in the sense of making pretty pictures, or even about expressing an experience of God. Rather it opens readers to new possibilities. The art they create here is the visual result of an experience with God through visual imaging. Those who use this technique invite God to be the director, writer, and artist of their hearts as they are introduced to the concept of "heart spirituality." Prayer of the HeART is a wonderful exploration- for both the experienced artist and the novice- of the role of creativity in the life of prayer. Readers will find a variety of drawing techniques and media, and ways of dialoguing with the images they create. Each chapter, developed around a theme, features a visual exercise and a way to journey deeper into the heart of God.

For many, however, the lengthy and mystical prayers of Likutey Tefilot seem inaccessible. The Flame of the Heart opens this profound spiritual text to anyone who seeks to enrich their own prayer practice. In this inspiring devotional, selected excerpts of Likutey Tefilot have been arranged thematically, allowing the reader to incorporate the words of Reb Noson into every aspect of daily life.
