BEHOLD THE BEAUTY
By Henri Nouwen
Full-color fold-outs of four superb Russian icons combine with the studied reflections of Henri Nouwen to offer the reader a unique way to pray with sacred images as much as with words. The meditations are the fruit of Father Nouwen's long viewing of the icons as the iconographer intended — as holy places, not as decorations. Paperback, 121 pages.
