She considers how a camera can help readers open \"the eyes of the heart.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMore than a book on photographic technique, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eEyes of the Heart\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is about cultivating photography as a spiritual practice. Adapting the monastic practice of lectio divina (sacred reading) into a form of visio divina (sacred seeing), spiritual director and Benedictine oblate Christine Valters Paintner invites readers to a new way of viewing the world--through the lens of a camera. Paintner guides readers through six themes connecting the medium of photography with the Christian spiritual life. Each theme provides a photographic journey in which the reader does not simply take images, but receives images and learns to see with \"the eyes of the heart\" (Eph 1:18). Photos by the author are included.\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Ingram","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31280379723841,"sku":"9781933495545","price":20.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0762\/0689\/products\/518QbWX1M5L._SCLZZZZZZZ.jpg?v=1734130572","url":"https:\/\/www.josephsinspirational.ca\/products\/eyes-of-the-heart-photography-as-a-christian-contemplative-practice","provider":"Joseph's","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
