Much of the great art of the world has been inspired by Old and New Testament stories and by events in the lives of the saints. Sister Wendy Becket has done much to bring these works of art into contemporary homes. Her love and knowledge of art as well as her spiritual insights make her books much more than just catalogs of beautiful paintings. Her A Child's Book of Prayer in Art presents art to children as "one way of listening to God." She has selected paintings which speak to children of God and of virtue. Her other books, Sister Wendy's Nativity and the Life of Christ and Sister Wendy's Book of Saints and her videos, Sister Wendy's Grand Tour and The Saints with Sister Wendy, open to us the European treasure houses of art. Savior: The Life of Christ in Words and Painting, is a collection of more than forty masterpieces based on the life of Jesus.
What Shall I Do Today? Ideas for Things to Paint, Draw and Make, by Ray Gibson, will unleash hours of creative activity for the young artist. We are please to offer the complete set of Art for Young Catholics, Grades 1 through 8, a combination of drawing lessons and art appreciation from Seton Educational Media.
