Draw Close

A Creative Companion for Lent  

by Stephanie B. Dunn
Paperback
Lent Spiritual Practice

Experience scripture, God, and your faith in a fresh new way this Lenten season! In the interactive devotional Draw Close, Rev. Stephanie Dunn invites people of all faith levels and artistic skills into a creative daily practice that will deepen your faith and help you engage scripture in imaginative new ways.

On each of the 40 days of Lent, Dunn introduces you to a biblical text, prayer, and word prompt to ponder, followed by a blank page for you to respond in whatever way you choose—sketching, doodling, poetry, journaling, or however your heart desires! As you engage with the Lenten texts in this immersive way, you'll discover new depths of insight, connection, and spiritual renewal. Through the act of creation, you'll find a sacred space where prayer, meditation, and creativity converge, nurturing your soul and fostering a closer relationship with God.

This unique Lenten companion for all ages can be used alone or with a group of others looking for new ways to practice their faith. Pick up a pencil or pen and prepare to draw closer to God this Lent! Perforated pages allow you to tear out your favorite creations to hang on the wall or fridge.

Reviews

Draw Close is a lovely resource that does not require any particular artistic skill set and won't overwhelm your Lenten season. Instead, it invites you to tap into the gift of creativity and make space to create with God as a spiritual practice. I can't wait to draw close with this wise and practical guide."—Whitney R. Simpson, author and spiritual director



“What a delightful new Lenten resource! Dunn is so relatable in her invitation to 'come as we are' to a creative spiritual practice. She is particularly welcoming of those of us who don’t believe we are creative or struggle with our inner critic. In this way, she offers generous space for us to listen for the Holy Spirit’s inspiration. I’m looking forward to using this!”—Kristen E. Vincent, spiritual director and author of A Bead and a Prayer: A Beginner’s Guide to Protestant Prayer Beads
