Why the Contemplative Writer?

This site provides soul care for writers by sharing spiritual practices from the Christian tradition in daily blog posts and weekly newsletters.

By focusing 80% of this site's energy on developing healthy contemplative prayer practices, we believe that the remaining 20% of our time devoted to writing guidance will have a solid foundation. We depend on one-time supporters for our long-term sustainability.

The Contemplative Writer is hosted by Lisa Deam (PhD), the author of A World Transformed: Exploring the Spirituality of Medieval Maps and 7 Ways the Ancient Church Saved My Faith. (Learn more about her books).
