"I have been blessed twice
with the inspiring beauty of
Yesteryear ornaments – first
as a gift and then as a giver.
I simply love these delightful
“little books” of hope, peace
and love. The delicate design and
original images from antique
postcards make these
treasures to cherish."

The Artist

Gloria Jost’s artistic gifts bring spirituality of the heart and mind into the world of the senses, transforming meditation and prayer into song and beautiful craft. 

Gloria has long desired to help others along their spiritual paths.  Inspired by time spent in the Taizé Community in France and work with labyrinth meditation, Gloria incorporates both contemplative prayer and rich singing to her teaching and ministry.  She is author of Hearts Extended, Scripture Readings and Intercessions for the Church Year with Sung Responses, a resource for worship and prayer.

 

Gloria’s passion for matters of the soul continues with Paperglory™, bringing together art, spirituality, and personal reflection into handcrafted books.Immediately beautiful to the eye and pleasing to the touch, each handcrafted book contains timeless words that inspire the soul. These distinctive books overlay quotes, images and prayers onto palates of richly colored and textured paper, creating unique and imaginative gifts.  Gloria’s hope is for these wise reflections to become a warm presence in the lives of others, inspiring and empowering people on their own life journeys..
