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.
