Christine Valters Paintner, online Abbess for virtual monastery Abbey of the Arts, is on a blog tour to celebrate the release of her newest book, Eyes of the Heart. Building on her book The Artist’s Rule, Paintner brings spiritual direction together with the creative arts in this exploration of photography as Christian contemplative practice—the combination of photography and prayer to cultivate sacred seeing or, as Paintner calls it, “seeing with the eyes of the heart.”
Follow along as blogs feature interviews, book giveaways, reviews of Eyes of the Heart, and guest posts by Paintner. Stops on the tour currently include:
