5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderfully prayerful work, March 10, 2001

Sr. D. Kevin D O'Gorman (Salamanca, Spain) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Mary, Mother of All Nations (Paperback)

I was with Megan last summer when this book was in the final stages of production. I was impressed with the concept when she was explaining it to me and I was intrigued to see if it would live up to my expectations. It far surpassed them!

The book is a wonderfully simple idea - but so very effective.

It contains an introduction, which gives a very informative explanation about iconography. Following this introduction there are 31 full colour icons. These icons have short explanations and prayerful reflections upon them.

I should recommend this book both as a tool for the study of iconography and more importantly as a deeply spiritual medium for prayer.
