"""Artist and Christian educator Heather Annis has written a thoughtful, creative, and humorous resource for all those who minister with youth. I highly recommend her work for both reading and use in your ministry."" ––Robert W. Pazmiño, Valeria Stone Professor of Christian Education, Andover Newton Theological School, and author of God Our Teacher ""Heather's fresh approach to spirituality, one which embraces both modern media and modern culture and invites both into a sustained conversation with our ancient faith, is both refreshing and exciting. She stands in the great line of preachers and artists who have labored to re-present the Gospel to the community of their time. I hope lots of us take her teaching to heart in our daily ministries."" ––The Rt. Rev. W. Nicholas Knisely, Diocese of Rhode Island ""I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. Heather outlines an innovative approach that you will want to add to your Christian formation toolbox. I can see using the creativity exercises she shares in many settings and with different age groups."" ––Laurie Bailey, Forma Treasurer and Membership Manager ""Framed in my office is a quote by Charles Schulz: 'Cartooning is preaching, and I think we have a right to do some preaching.' Thanks be to God for this book by Heather Annis, who helps all of us to proclaim good news. With wit and wisdom, forged by great experience in youth ministry, she invites us to find our voice through art, and to do so with a light touch. The church needs more of that, for sure. I recommend this book and thank Heather for this offering."" ––The Rev. Jay Sidebotham, cartoonist, author, and director of RenewalWorks -- Robert W. Pazmiño"
