One God, Shared Hope: Twenty Threads Shared by… par Maggie Oman Shannon
I finished this in about 40 mins. It is just quotes from Scriptures. That's it, no commentary.
Less a book of prayers than a book of short sayings collected around themes. There are some prayers, but probably less than half the book.
Multicultural, drawing on many wisdom traditions, this book could offer hope and comfort to some, but it's just too broad of a brush for me.

TL:DR
- it focuses on the emotional/ spiritual purpose of crafting and has many projects for romance, friendship, teachers, nature, self-love and others in the world
- YES: if you want inspirational ideas for creating gifts with deeper meaning, if you want to be more mindful in your creative projects and spread the love you feel for yourself and others through all kinds of handcrafts.
- YES: if you love quotes, stories and reading from other's personal experiences.
-NO: if you are expecting a DIY book with list of materials, step by step instructions and pretty process pictures.
---------------------------------------------------
This book is about that intangible part of crafting, the spiritual and emotional side of creating something, whether for someone else or for yourself. It has instructions for about 35 different craft projects organized by to whom you are expressing love: for romance, friendship, teachers, mentors, family, nature (places and animals), self-love and others in the world. Some of my favorite projects:
Edible love letters
One-a-day pillbox presents
Portable place shrines
Collaged artist trading cards
There are a bunch of inspirational quotes spread across the pages. People from around the world and from different eras like Van Gogh, Antoine de Saint-Exupery, Wayne Dyer, Nelson Mandela, Rumi, Kiran Shaikh and many others, sharing wisdom words about love. As a quote hoarder, I really enjoyed that.
This craft book gave me.. how can I put it?… a cozy feeling. It shares many personal experiences from the author and the contributors and the text flows like having an informal chat with a friend. This is definitely not a DIY book with instructions and step-by-step pictures, but more like being around people talking about how to express love trough their crafts, giving their opinion, sharing stories, projects, how-to and tips along the way.
It is certainly inspiring and will bring more meaning, more essence to your crafting experience, but don’t expect a list of materials nor precise instructions. If you want a book to inspire you to create with more intent and spiritual purpose, I wholeheartedly recommend this book. *I read this as an eARC… (plus d'informations)

The text was disjointed, and the "diy" sections were nearly useless. The author has some interesting things to communicate, but does a poor job of it in this particular book. I suspect her workshops are much more effective.
