Abstract
Full color fold-outs of four superb Russian icons combine with the studied reflections of Henri J.M. Nouwen to offer the reader a unique way to pray with sacred images as much as with words. The meditations are the fruit of Nouwen's long viewing of the icons as the iconographer intended--as holy places, not as decorations.
Description
The icon of the Holy Trinity: living in the house of love -- The icon of the Virgin of Vladimir: belonging to God -- The icon of the Savior of Zvenigorod: seeing Christ -- The icon of the descent of the Holy Spirit: liberating the world.
