The Christian story has inspired centuries of art, of depicting the faith in images not least of Christ himself. Janet Hodgson has over many years collected images both contemporary and historical and encourages others to set up their own collections as a resource for creative worship and enabling people to articulate their faith. This workbook provides a wealth of material, designed to unlock people's intuition and imagination in expressing their faith and telling their stories. It includes suggestions for use in groups, for Bible Study, faith sharing, mission and evangelism, meditation and prayer. A companion CD-Rom offers a range of images which provide a starting point for workshops, seminars, worship and private reflection.
