This book offers a captivating look at the stories behind 24 artworks, enhancing readers' understanding of scripture and faith.

In More Than Words, Hannah Dunnett invites readers into the stories behind 24 of her stunning artworks, each accompanied by thoughtful meditations and reflections. Her artwork seamlessly weaves together Bible verses and imagery, creating a visual feast that inspires and uplifts. From serene sailing boats on tranquil waters to majestic mountains and cozy cottages, each piece serves as a catalyst for understanding scripture in a new light.

The book is structured into four thematic sections: The Wondrous Cross, Father God, Teach Me Your Ways, and Let Your Light Shine. Each section not only showcases Dunnett's beloved artwork but also delves into the key verses associated with the images. As readers explore the stories behind the paintings, they are encouraged to reflect on the meanings and implications of the scriptures, fostering a deeper connection with their faith.

By combining visual art with spiritual exploration, More Than Words provides a unique opportunity for both individual and group study. Readers will find themselves on a journey towards the heart of God, gaining fresh insights and understanding through Dunnett's reflections. This collection is perfect for those seeking inspiration and a renewed perspective on their spiritual journey.

"In this beautiful book, Hannah Dunnett offers a marvellous insight into her unique creative process. She has a wonderful ability to visualise the symbolism of scripture in a way that makes it tangible and accessible; inscribing God's word onto landscapes, seascapes and everyday environments with her poetic brushstrokes and creating deeply meditative images that help us to internalise His truths. More Than Words will be a much loved companion for many on their journey with Christ." -- Kate Nicholas, author of Sea Changed, PR expert, journalist and preacher
"More than Words is more than just a beautiful book, it is also an invitation to turn down the volume on the constant noise, and to slowly soak up scripture through these uplifting pictures and their accompanying meditations. This is the perfect gift for others, but also something special for us to quietly savour ourselves." -- Cathy Madavan, writer, speaker, member of Spring Harvest Planning Group and author of Digging for Diamonds
