Three Powers Of Art

By Dan Wilt

I believe that art has three central powers that enable it to carry souls from one place to another.

The Power Of Representation
Art can enable us to revisit powerful events in the past. Art can give the gift of memory.

The Power Of Integration
Art can enable us to connect once again with God, the creation, others and ourselves. Art can give the gift of wholeness.

The Power Of Imagination
Art can enable us to speak of a preferred, and prophetic future. Art can give the gift of vision.

At some point, I’ll elaborate on these themes, but I wanted to voice them now.

Sheltering Mercy: Prayers Inspired by the Psalms

Sheltering Mercy, along with its companion volume, Endless Grace, helps us rediscover the rich treasures of the Psalms—through free-verse prayer renderings of their poems and hymns—as a guide to personal devotion and meditation.

The church has always used the Psalms as part of its prayer life, and they have inspired countless other prayers. This book contains 75 prayers drawn from Psalms 1-75, providing lyrical sketches of what authors Ryan Smith and Dan Wilt have seen, heard, and felt while sojourning in the Psalms. Each prayer is a response to the Psalms written in harmony with Scripture. These prayers help us quiet our hearts before God and welcome us into a safe place amid the storms of life.

This artful, poetic, and classic devotional book features compelling custom illustrations and foil-stamped hardcover binding, offering a fresh way to reflect on and pray the Psalms.
