Product Description

In her follow up to Faith Books and Spiritual Journaling, author Sharon Soneff continues to show that there is a richer, deeper reward to artistic, creative journals beyond the beauty they supply.

With a marriage of beaitufil imagery, uplifting and literary quotations, and other rich sources, Art Journals & Creative Healing offers journaling worksheets and journal prompts to help readers get started with their own journals. Specific topics include using mediums as metaphors, journaling for cathartic expression, gaining wisdom through introspection and reflection, finding strength in the midst of suffering, and finding beauty in pain.

Customer Reviews

Wonderful!
The book is wonderful. VERY inspiring. A different artist/journaller for each section. Each chapter is 2 to 4 pages long with lovely photo's. As well as a summary to each chapter, there is a piece written by the artist themselves too.

Because of all the different chapters, you can dip in and out and you don't get bored; the book stays fresh. Lots of different styles are shown. I have always wanted to keep a diary but never had the discipline to keep one going. So I switched to the idea of an Art Journal. I think this book will help me, and inspire me to keep it going.

I added this to my wishlist last year, meaning to come back to it when I had more spare cash. Luckily for me, my partner discovered my wishlist and bought it for me for Christmas! (Moral: set up a wishlist- they work! LOL!)

A great buy!
I had aleady bought two other books on journalling and wasn't sure if I needed another but I am so glad I got this lovely book by Sharon Soneff. I have found that all three of the books I bought offer a slightly different "take" on the wonderful hobby/art of journalling and this one added yet another dimension. It gives personal stories about how journalling has helped different people, along with examples of their work. The first half of the book is dedicated to people who have journalled to help them cope with emotional difficulties including worry, depression etc. The second half of the book is people who have physical illnesses including cancer and is very moving but more to the point very uplifting. Having just come out of hospital after serious illness I found this book a joy just to read and own and, as a support in my journalling, it is also a delight.

Very nice!
Very good book; to the point, enough guidance, and packed with examples. I really like it.
