Descriere & specificații

Discover how icons can become part of your own life of prayer. Encounter twelve of the world's most significant Orthodox icons with one of today's best-loved spiritual writers as your guide. "The Open Door provides an open window into a radically different approach to spiritual formation, one that is more ancient/Eastern than modern/Western, one that feels refreshingly new as well as seasoned, rich, and time-tested." --Brian McLaren, author of Everything Must Change and A Generous Orthodoxy "The joy of this] book is to allow us to meet the icons where the saints want us to meet them - face to face in a prayer corner, in candlelight as we approach the altar, above the beds of our sleeping children. . . . This book is a call to stand still, take a deep breath and face the cloud of witnesses." --Terry Mattingly, columnist, Scripps Howard News Service About the Author: Frederica Mathewes-Green is a popular speaker, award winning author columnist for the Beliefnet.com, and the Khouria (spiritual mother) of Holy Cross Orthodox Church near Baltimore, MD.
