In the years since \u003cem\u003eSoul Brothers\u003c\/em\u003e was originally written, there has been an ugly resurgence of toxic masculinity—in the culture at large, but especially in many religious communities. . . . I’ve had the privilege of working more closely with Richard over recent years, as his health and strength have waned. Over these years, I’ve been a close witness to one of his sweetest qualities: he has never thought that his life was about him. Instead, he has always been focused on the larger work of God in this world, and he has seen himself as but one humble servant, doing what he can with what he has been given in that larger creative work of the Spirit. As you read his reflections on these soul brothers, I hope you will be caught up in that same deep insight . . . that your life is not about you: it’s about love, the divine love that fires the stars and inspires your breath. Your great privilege is to live your days as one human being dancing in love’s wild and holy rhythm.” —\u003cstrong\u003eBrian D.

She shows that Father Ed believed in the divine inspiration behind AA and how it touches its sober followers: “the fellowship’s members, whether they realized it or not, were traveling the road to perfection mapped out four hundred years prior by St. Ignatius Loyola. Once they made it through the first six steps, they had in effect completed the Exercises’ First Week.” Similarly, working the 12 steps can be viewed as a Jungian Individuation process leading alcoholics in recovery toward a Spiritual life beyond their wildest dreams!

Jim Forest's Praying With Icons offers a simple introduction to the tradition of icons with special emphasis on their practical function in the spiritual life. Beautifully illustrated both with color plans and b\/w photography, Praying With Icons begins with a history of iconography. Icons are not simply illustrations or \"art\" in the usual sense, but aids to prayer and contemplation, windows on the divine. Forest also provides a personal and practical guide to how one prays with icons. Forest then concludes with a series of meditative reflections on some of the most typical icons, including the Annunciation, the Nativity, Christ's Baptism, the Transfiguration, the Descent of the Holy Spirit, representations of Mary, the trinity, and the Saints. Praying With Icons is a superlative introduction to icons and is highly recommended for readers seeking to expand their spiritual experience to encompass the entire Christian spiritual legacy. \"--\u003cstrong\u003eMidwest Book Review\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-section a-spacing-small a-padding-small\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(19, 80, 147);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-section a-spacing-small a-padding-small\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(19, 80, 147);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0185\/6438\/2784\/files\/Untitled_design_7_c0264f4f-8417-4f8d-b74b-59064e7e113a.webp?v=1739389218\" width=\"251\" height=\"72\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"celwidget\" data-csa-c-id=\"af7jvi-szn8c9-foqep6-jy5ve7\" data-cel-widget=\"dpx-detail-bullets_csm_instrumentation_wrapper\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"detailBullets_feature_div\" class=\"celwidget\" data-feature-name=\"detailBullets\" data-csa-c-id=\"ywlp18-mavmqc-rrlbos-bagdo\" data-cel-widget=\"detailBullets_feature_div\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0in; margin-bottom: .0001pt; tab-stops: 45.6pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #302e33; background: white;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-tab-count: 1;\"\u003e              \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\" class=\"x_elementToProof\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\"\u003eFrom its original publication in 1997 Praying with Icons has been hailed as a modern spiritual classic, both for readers familiar with the tradition of icons as well as those who are newcomers to this sacred art.
