Holy Women Icons began as a painting project, giving traditional iconography a folk feminist twist. Across the vast pantheon of a virtually all-male sainthood, I noticed something was missing: women. Where were all the holy women across spiritual traditions?I've painted over 50 Holy Women Icons and recount their stories in my 2014 book, Holy Women Icons.Now is your chance to join me in the creative process. Color your way toward holiness! As you color, allow each dot to be a meditation, prayer, or mantra. Perhaps you may choose a virtue-such as peace or love-to focus on with each coloring page, or perhaps you could allow the woman you are coloring to inspire a virtue within you. However you choose to color, may your creative time with this contemplative coloring book enliven, inspire, embolden, sooth, and calm you.A brief description of each holy woman, along with a small image of her painting, is found at the back of the coloring book for you to use as a reference if you wish.May these holy women inspire and empower you.May coloring their images embolden you.May you discover something new about spirituality, history, and yourself.

Dance in Scripture: How Biblical Dancers Can Revolutionize Worship Today examines the dances of seven biblical figures: Miriam, Jephthah's daughter, David, the Shulamite, Judith, Salome, and Jesus. Each figure offers a virtue that has the potential to revolutionize worship today. Yarber combines feminist and queer hermeneutics with dance history to highlight the nuances of the texts that often go unnoticed in biblical scholarship, while also celebrating the myriad ways the body can be affirmed in worship in creative, empowering, and subversive ways. Liberation, lamentation, abandon, passion, subversion, innocence, and community each contribute to the exciting ways embodied worship can be revolutionized. This is a book for those interested in biblical scholarship, dance, the arts, feminist and queer theory, or revolutionizing worship.
