The Open Door: Entering the Sanctuary of Icons and Prayer - Frederica Mathewes-green

This book presents a unique opportunity for readers to visit an imaginary church and see icons in action throughout the year--to stand alongside worshippers for whom the use of icons is a natural part of their devotional lives. 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
