In the House of Happiness: A Book of Prayers and PraiseHoughton Mifflin Harcourt, 2003 - 64 strán (strany) This small treasure of a prayer book includes 58 short, accessible selections from all over the world, divided into thematic sections and richly illustrated. Prayers of the great world religions mix with tribal chants, folk rhymes, and poems of praise and devotion to celebrate morning and evening, the beauty of the natural world, loving, giving, and grace. Together the selections convey a strong sense of the intrinsic kinship of all humanity. Isabelle Brent's opulent illustrations, with glowing gold highlights and illuminated initials, were inspired by the art in medieval Books of Hours. This unique and joyous collection will appeal to a wide range of readers; the small size and ribbon marker make it a perfect gift, just right for private meditation. Introduction, acknowledgments. |
