Praying in Color: Drawing a New Path to God by Sybil MacBeth introduces the active, visual prayer practice the author calls "praying in color." The book provides a little bit of memoir and theology and a lot of how-to. Step-by step instructions in Chapter 3 introduce "praying in color" as a way to do intercessory prayer. Additional chapters explain how the practice can be applied to learning Scripture, keeping Advent and Lent, practicing lectio divina, and praying in other ways.

Praying in Color: Kids Edition by Sybil MacBeth
Now kids can pray in color, too! This first-of-its-kind resource will forever change the way kids pray—and how adults try to teach them to do it.
This is a prayer that makes sense to kids. One minute a day will do. Any time of day will work. Drawing with markers or crayons is half the prayer; the other half is carrying the visual memories throughout the day.

"Our words make great prayers. But words don’t always seem to be there when we need them most. They are sneaky. Words play hide and seek. Just when we’re searching for the ones we want, they go missing like socks under the bed. On some days, “Thank you,” “Help,” “I’m sorry,” and “Please” are the only prayer words we can find.

Praying without words is another option. But what do you do, if you’re not using words? How do you pray for yourself or other people without words? How do you get quiet and listen to what God might say? Look at the drawing on the next page. Believe it or not, it is a prayer. It is a prayer doodle for Ben, Keisha, Matt, Ashley, and Taylor. . . .”
