Icons: The Essential Collection - Paperback

In this lovely little gift book you'll discover 28 stunning icons in full-color by Sr. Faith Riccio, along with Scriptures to accompany them, inspirational texts from various persons of faith, and short descriptions of what is being pictured. An absolutely beautiful way to reflect upon these holy images.

Icons are an invitation to go beyond our world; to take a moment to look as through a window into heaven. The space they create gives us a wonderful and open access to reach out toward God and know him deeply in a new way. They are meant to enrich our spiritual lives. They were created to touch and form us and have an ability to soothe and confront where necessary. They provide a place to gather our wandering attention and direct it toward God.

"The images in this book will present to us, over and over, the mystery of personhood, as we encounter the face of Christ and of those who loved Him. In looking at the icons in this book, we can remember who we are, and what we are called to be, as we are continuously being "conformed to the eikon of his Son" (Rom 8:29) -- From the Foreword by Frederica Mathewes-Green

Discover how by approaching and praying with these icons, you can experience how they help us live a good life, what they have to offer, what they did for Sr. Faith, and what they can do for you.
