Overview
This twentieth anniversary edition (more than 111,000 copies sold) brings Henri J. M. Nouwen’s writings on Eastern Orthodox icons to a new generation and adds to the Nouwen collection published by Ave Maria Press. With a foreword by Br. Robert Lentz, a well-known painter of contemporary icons, this classic Nouwen book invites readers to pray with four Russian icons with their eyes open by emphasizing seeing or gazing, which are at the heart of Eastern spirituality. Nouwen’s meditations reveal his viewing of the icons not as decorations, but holy places. The book includes four full-color icons, which can be used for private contemplation or meditation.
