Fascinating and beautiful, Praying with Icons offers a simple introduction to the tradition of icons with special emphasis on their function in spiritual life. Beginning with a history of iconography, author Jim Forest shows how icons are not "art" in the usual sense, but aids to contemplation and prayer, windows on the divine. He provides a personal and practical guide to how one prays with icons. Finally, he offers meditative reflections on some of the most typical icons -- the Annunciation, the Nativity, Christ's Baptism, the Transfiguration, the Descent of the Holy Spirit -- providing an iconographic journey through the Gospel mystery and the liturgical year.
