Summary:
Unlike many books of meditations on icons, this book presents a
unique opportunity for readers to visit an imaginary church and see
icons "in action" throughout the year---to stand alongside worshipers
for whom the use of icons is a natural part of their devotional
lives. Reproductions of icons on the book jacket and in the inside
text allow the reader to view the icons that would be found in a
typical contemporary Orthodox church, as Frederica Mathewes-Green
explains their history and theology. Stories of saints and texts of
the prayers appointed for the day enhance the devotional quality of
the book. Anyone interested in understanding and "praying with" icons
will benefit from this warmhearted, practical guide.
