Meditations with Icons: For Children and the Young at Heart (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781514744376)

This simple book contains within its pages 10 different ways of meditating and praying with icons. Nita and Sr Esther have used and experienced all of them personally, and in sharing them, have touched the lives of many others who attend their workshops and retreats around the world. "In this gorgeous book Nita Ng and Sister Esther Pollak provide an opening to deep contemplation, activity and engagement with icons and through them, with God's own heart. This book is an opportunity to go deeply into prayer and meditation in communion with God through his Son and Saints. The meditations encourage interaction and the drawing activities give yet another entry point to contemplation and transformation for older children and all who strive to come to God with childlike hearts. This book provides a doorway for all to enter as they are and to find there the guidance and love of the Holy Spirit." - Sarah Cledwyn, MA Sister Esther Pollak is a member of the Benedictine Community at Turvey Abbey and also belongs to a Greek Catholic Melkite parish.
