"Part memoir, part spiritual guidebook, Art Is How God Loves Us is a gorgeous and deeply heartfelt look at our most important conversations: the ones we have with the Divine. How can we dance with creativity as we would with the Divine? Estevez shows us the way. Her insightful reflections on art are far-reaching and fascinating. Her deeply personal stories take readers around the globe and into her heart. She shows how the holy is illuminated through the art we encounter and the art we make ourselves. The book is filled with inspiring, playful exercises that invite any person--self-declared artist or otherwise--to deepen their relationship with themselves, the created, and the Creator. I'll be coming back to this book again and again!" --Heather Lanier, author of Raising a Rare Girl and Psalms of Unknowing
