Author: Jim Forest
Paperback
A classic guide to praying with icons.
“A book to be treasured and read slowly.” —St. Anthony Messenger

“In Praying with Icons beauty itself bears witness to God.” —Michael Downey
First published ten years ago, Praying with Icons has been widely recognized as a modern spiritual classic. Both for Orthodox readers familiar with this tradition as well as newcomers, Forest describes the history and theology behind icons, how they are made, and how they are used as a guide to prayer. Finally, he offers a moving series of reflections on a range of classic icons.
This revised edition is enhanced by a rich new selection of full-color illustrations.
