Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Colors of Hope draws upon the iconic Pride flag and raises a call to embody our beliefs. Using Gilbert Baker's original flag and its eight colors and themes--sexuality, life, healing, sunlight, nature, art and magic, harmony and serenity, and spirit--readers are invited to reflect, engage, and apply discoveries. The devotions present a range of views, all full of hope, paired with thematic journal prompts and calls to action. The book includes an invocation, introduction, weekly reading, daily reflections, benediction, and list of resources. Colors of Hope is an expansive resource for personal growth and collective change. Hoping in color brings the joy, beauty, and power of the rainbow to life.
