Endorsements

Sharon’s art pieces communicate the principles of Scripture from a fresh, inviting, and delightfully whimsical perspective. Her first-person writing style makes readers feel as though they have taken a seat at her breakfast table, listening as she shares wisdom gained from her personal journey with God and her knowledge of his Word. Her art and her words draw us in. Sharon stirs our spiritual hearts with her stories and reveals the deep things of God with her art. Mindy Ferguson, Author and Bible Teacher, Fruitful Word Ministries, Inc.
Sharon reminds us that we are today both divinely inspired masterpieces and emerging masterpieces. Her creative works open the mind and heart to receive and then recall God’s truths, interpreted through her own journey. Both “sides” of our minds are activated and blessed through her personal, approachable, and transparent gifts of reflection and creativity. Michael J Mantel, PhD, President and CEO, Living Water International
Cultivating the practice of being with God is both gift and discipline. For some, it is a journey of delight and for others it is one of faithful practice. Sharon has animated both of these attitudes in her writing and with her art. She has given her readers a way of being with God in imaginative ways, inviting all of us to deepen this spiritual relationship that has breathed life into her journey and her art. This is a beautiful reflection of God at work through Sharon’s reflections. Read, reflect, and find delight in these words and through her art. Karen E Parchman, PhD, Director, Talent and Leadership for Vision Fund, a ministry of World Vision, International
Sharon Collins has done a graceful job of weaving Scripture and art to show the beauty of the Lord. Her gorgeous gifts help us better understand and experience God's goodness. Sharon comes alongside us in a way that encourages us and points us to the Lord. Rev Dr Julia Leeth, Transitional Pastor, Grace Presbyterian Church, Houston, TX
Christians have classically compared the Bible to a pair of glasses: its message brings authoritative clarity to human experience and God’s work in the world. Sharon Collins’ devotional thoughts, paired with her paintings, work similarly in opening vistas for the individual’s life before God. Her inspiring reflections on biblical truth and her insightful paintings are two portals for gaining perspective on what she calls “the journey of a lifetime.” Andrew Dearman, Professor of Old Testament, Fuller Theological Seminary
Sharon's creativity is both artistically appealing and instructive. Her work subtly asks us to take a fresh look at Biblical principles. Each devotional is a story within the larger narrative of God’s desire for a relationship with us. These insights demand reflection and thereby renew fresh appreciation for the beauty that surrounds us. The psalmist said, “Be still and know that I am God.” In the vernacular, that means loosen your tight-fisted grip on life and recognize the providence of God. Thanks Sharon, for helping me do just that. The Rev Dr David McKechnie, Interim Pastor, Carmel Presbyterian, Charlotte, NC, Pastor Emeritus, Grace Presbyterian Church, Houston, TX
