Form combines beautifully with spirit in this lovely little book. Black and white photographs of Shaker interiors are paired thematically with prayers from Martin Luther, St. Teresa of Avila, and more. There is also a reference to a scripture verese at the conclusion of each prayer. The combination of these beautiful images, words and verse is perfect for contemplation or a daily devotional.
This book is balm for the soul.

True pleasure is gained by perusing the pages of this book. The photography is stunningly beautiful. The bible verse and devotion attached to each photo reflect and enhance the images and the interplay between them resonante in the heart. The author is a world-famous theologian and his prose shows a sure hand, is clear and illuminating. The shaker motif reminds us of that still, quiet place in which God speaks. This book would make an excellent gift, but don't forget to get one for yourself.
