Metaphors – Christine Valters-Paintner 

“As we become conscious of our metaphors for God, we learn which ones are life-giving for us, and which ones might be limiting or constricting. At different points along our journey, our images of God grow and change as we do.” 

— Christine Valters Paintner, PhD & Betsey Beckman, MM Awakening the Creative Spirit: Bringing the Arts to Spiritual Direction
