Life Journey is a based on thirteen of Mary's pieces of artwork and contains prayers, comentaries, bible passages, poems and activities.
In the introduction Mary writes:
Dear Reader,
You are invited to accompany me on a journey, to share a quiet walk, some thoughtful moments and a few challenges.
The aim of this book is simple. I hope that through the imagery and words that you are drawn closer to the God that inspired them.
This is not a book of answers. I only hope to share with you a little of what I have discovered since becoming a Christian and encourage you to ask questions of yourself, of others and of God. Ask God for the right questions to ask and be open to challenging your preconceived ideas.
Enjoy the artwork, it has all been created on the Holy Island of Lindisfarne in Northumbria, inspired by God and the beautiful surroundings (some people say that Holy Island is a ‘thin place’, somewhere you feel that you can reach out and touch God); read about my thoughts on the Journey, I hope that you will find some things to make you think and some things to make you feel that you have a companion on your Journey; please try the suggested activities on your own or with a small group and when the time is right pray the prayers.
Mary Fleeson (from the chapter, a Call to Journey). |
