Creative Prayer
ByPublisher Description
A young man is deeply in love with a young woman. He pours out his heart, singing to her, writing poems for her, giving her beautiful flowers. And how does she express her love back to him? She talks, usually briefly. And that’s all.
That’s an imbalanced relationship,but it’s an accurate picture of our communication with God. God speaks with pictures, symbols, music, tastes, smells, and all the rich diversity of creation. So why do we express ourselves to Him with nothing more than words?
Connect with Our Creative God
In Creative Prayer, Chris Tiegreen encourages us to communicate more intimately with God by speaking the language of His heart. Drawing on Bible stories, psalms, and historical examples, Tiegreen reminds us that our praises and petitions can reflect the unique gifts God has given us.
Singing. Painting. Cymbals. Dancing. God has always encouraged his people to respond to him in bold, visual, active, and energetic ways. As God shows us every day in a thousand ways, real love cannot be contained.

“This was unlike any other book on this subject I've ever read. I did enjoy it! Chris Tiegreen takes a different approach than most. He approaches prayer from the standpoint of how to engage all five of our senses and use our unique creative abilities in our prayer life. We sometimes have such a narrow view of what prayer is. Creative, expressive prayer is good! We can write, sing, act out, draw, and use many other ways of expression in our prayer life. The writing is engaging, and a bit "edgier" than some titles on this subject, while still biblically sound. This book, along with https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/666103.Praying_Backwards_Transform_Your_Prayer_Life_by_Beginning_in_Jesus_Name , have been the two books that have had the most positive influence on my prayer life. "Praying Backwards" provided the theological foundation and framework if you will, and this title built on that.”

“I ended up skimming toward the end-I had a hard time keeping interest up.
I was expecting more "suggestions" for creative prayer instead of WHY creative prayer.
so, out of 170 some odd pages, only about 5 were what I was really after.
I think this book would be a great primer for anyone who thinks that God only listens to our prayers when we are in a specific position, with a certain formula at an exact time of day ;)”
