The world is noisy and disorientating. Our hearts need beauty and truth.
Heather Holdsworth experienced the death of her father followed shortly by the death of her mother. A few years later she battled a sickness that left her without the strength to stand, walk, or even speak. She opened the book of Psalms. She began writing. And from her writing emerged drawings that brought solace to her soul.
Through the medium of art and words, artist and Bible teacher Heather Holdsworth shares an illustrated journey into the Psalms. Landscape of Hope takes passages that have become familiar—perhaps too familiar—and reveals their soul-strengthening, heart-restoring power. Through artwork and teaching, readers find themselves deeply engaging with the Bible and our beautiful triune God.
Heather invites us to come alongside her in discovering the artistry, symmetry, and wonder of Scripture. Readers experience the presence of Jesus Christ as they engage with the truth of life's fragility and the fortifying hope of the gospel.
"One of the most damaging self-inflicted losses to the church in recent years has been the neglect of the Psalms in public worship and private prayer. They are such a rich source of praise, lament, protest, suffering, faith, endurance, repentance, and thankfulness—and more. And they resonate with the deep music of the gospel itself and the story and mission of God. Heather Holdsworth's unique and intriguing artwork and thoughtful reflections on the first fourteen psalms bring them to life in ways that not only catch our eyes but warm and challenge our hearts. I hope there is more to come!"
