Life changing? Need hope? Get hope by the heartful in this collection of poetic prayers paired with b/w photos from five countries. Let the changes of life “make you” instead of “break you.” By the Heartful has hope for the beginning, growing, encountering, trusting, and ending seasons of life. It isn’t a discussion about change or advice to be hopeful. Rather, it’s an actual experience of hope rooted in Christian faith, because when beauty and prayer merge, they emerge as hope, and then hope heals a broken heart! Replace regret with joy! Replace anger with new purpose! Replace depression with courage! Replace failure with second chances! When the world is cold, experience this warmth of hope from God, and not just a temporary self-help fix. By the Heartful can be read like a coffee-table book, picked up and enjoyed just a page or two at a time for personal devotion and healing. It also can be a resource for a ready-made hospital prayer, a graduation blessing, a prayer for a funeral, a dedication of a place of worship, a prayer for peace, or a prayer for World AIDS Day. The variety of prayer subjects is matched by the variety of photographs, which were taken across the U.S., including many of the U.S. National Parks. Other locations are Scotland, Canada, England, Nicaragua, and Israel. The photos range from people to landscapes, from martyrs to cathedrals, and from animals to flowers. By the Heartful is a beautiful experience of healing hope. Read Less
