| 1. |  | The Return of the Prodigal Son: A Story of Homecoming from Image Books / Doubleday Publishing Group Price: $8.32 Customer Review:  Though a Nouwen classic, and one that many find life changing, I was left cold by what seemed to be a forcing of ideas into the parable of the prodigal and Rembrandt's painting. Both forms are open to interpretation, with is part of the appeal of parable and painting, but some of Nouwen's... |

The essays collected and edited in this volume each stand alone as relevant, helpful, well-crafted works around the topic of art and the church. Taken... |

| 7. |  | Basilica: The Splendor and the Scandal: Building St. Peter's from Plume Price: $0.75 Customer Review: You know the old saying," You can't judge a book by it's cover." Apparently, the Basilica is an enormous example of the old adage. This book is a historical account of the building of one of the most well known structures in the world, St.Peter's Basilica. Before you pooh pooh the idea of reading... |

| 8. |  | The Lost Painting from Random House Trade Paperbacks Price: $5.74 Customer Review: Anyone interested in art history, and especially Carravagio's work, would enjoy this book. If the reader has visited Rome, it's all the more intriguing. Harr has done remarkable research on the period and the known details of Carravagio's life. |

| 9. |  | The Mystical Language of Icons from Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company Price: $13.81 Customer Review: The Norwegian icon writer, Solrunn Nes, has delivered a treasury of photographed icon reproductions from authorized motifs in this cloth-bound 7 X 9 1/2 inch (11.5 X 24 cm). The author produced both the icons, using egg tempura on wood, and English text. The book was published in the USA first by... |

| 10. |  | Stories in Stone: The Complete Guide to Cemetery Symbolism from Gibbs Smith Price: $14.47 Customer Review: I found this little book enjoyable, though not exactly for the reasons I wanted to enjoy it. It certainly is not a "field guide," as the symbols are not arranged in any kind of easily-referenced order, and there are not nearly enough photos to serve that purpose. Much of the information seems more... |

| 11. |  | What We Ache For: Creativity and the Unfolding of Your Soul from HarperOne Price: $9.94 Customer Review: My idea of a good book is when I check it out of the library and enjoy it so much that I simply have to buy it. This one's so good, in fact, that I bought a copy to send to a friend who, like me, has been experiencing creative blocks. We both enjoy singing and playing music...so why aren't we making... |

| 12. |  | Michelangelo and the Pope's Ceiling from Penguin (Non-Classics) Price: $6.99 Customer Review: There are many things in the 21st century that we take for granted as an artist. You need paint, you just run down to the local Home Depot, and 5-gallon drums will be produced within a matter of minutes. A new commission may have the most difficult task of having enough room in the back of your... |

| 13. |  | The Tao Te Ching: An Illustrated Journey from HarperCollins Price: $65.00 Customer Review: I treasure this book which I bought on Amazon in hardback 2 years or so ago. I still pick it up almost daily, and miss it when I leave it behind. I get new and deeper meaning from the vibration of the words each time. I just read a review that rated it as 1 star-- I, myself, could care less about... |

| 15. |  | Walking on Water: Reflections on Faith and Art from North Point Press Price: $7.32 Customer Review: Walking on Water puts into beautiful language the ebb and flow of the artist within all of us, the tension between our deepest beliefs and the way that we express them. Madeline L'Engle has a perspective on faith and art that brings out the best in both, that the Christian artist must first be a... |

| 16. |  | The Hours of Catherine of Cleves: Devotions, Demons and Daily Life in the Fifteenth Century from Abrams Price: $53.55 Customer Review: This volume is a catalogue of an exhibition held at the Morgan Library and the Museum Het Valkhof in Nijmengen. Its centerpiece is the display of about 100 pages of the "Hours of Catherine of Cleves". This famous illuminated manuscript, created around 1440, was commissioned by Catherine of Cleves.... |

| 17. |  | Art and the Bible: Two Essays from Hovel Audio Price: $7.52 Customer Review: These two essays from Francis Schaeffer do an excellent job of showing a side of the Old and New Testament that many people ignore, forget, or purposefully refuse to read because of their bias against art. That fact is that God commanded artistic items to be added to his temple...not as objects... |

| 18. |  | Saving Paradise: How Christianity Traded Love of This World for Crucifixion and Empire from Beacon Press Price: $15.99 Customer Review: This book was well written with many fine gems in the end notes. It was and is refreshing to discover what the first millenium of Christianity was really about. It was discouraging to find out where the course of the second millenium has taken us. The recovery of the, probably, true message of... |

| 19. |  | Art for God's Sake: A Call to Recover the Arts from P & R Publishing Price: $2.77 Customer Review:  Yes, I am a speed reader--but 15 minutes? I didn't learn anything that I didn't already know, and that was disappointing. I suspect that this little book is actually a sermon that was written down and published. Here it is: Four points based on Exodus 31: 1) The artist's calling is from God 2)God... |

| 20. |  | Maria: Pope Benedict XVI on the Mother of God from Ignatius Press Price: $13.31 Customer Review: This book is really worth purchasing. Elegantly compiled with wonderfully crisp clear pictures of the blessed Mother Mary with infant Jesus. The text compliments the pictures and reading is relatively short and simple. I consider this a great item added to my personal "spiritual books" collection. |

| 24. |  | A Brush With God: An Icon Workbook from Morehouse Publishing Price: $16.13 Customer Review: It is easy to get confused by the various icon source books that have been published. I would strongly recommend this book as a very good "starting" place. Even if you never paint an icon, this book gives you enough information so that you feel comfortable with the concept of an icon (you may, of... |

| 25. |  | Imagine: A Vision for Christians in the Arts from InterVarsity Press Price: $7.25 Customer Review: The ideas on this book are really good and valid, but the way the writer approaches and defends his ideas is not professional and is somewhat offensive. Again, really good ideas, but really bad approach to solutions. |

| 27. |  | The Lost Painting: The Quest for a Caravaggio Masterpiece from Random House Price: $6.49 Customer Review: I was glad to have read "The Lost Painting" because it was so informative about the world of the art academy, restoration, and to some degree, the world of Caravaggio, but (and perhaps others have mentioned this) WHERE are the illustrations? No St. John, no Emmaus, and the only reproduction of the... |

| 31. |  | Celestial Gallery from Mandala Publishing Price: $36.95 Customer Review: I am totally amazed at the exquisite beauty of thangkas and the quality of printing and design. It is to be appreciated in every bit. I am quite well versed in offset printing, but this is definitely a work of art. Its sharp details, color gamut, and super deep density of ink are unbelievable.

| 35. |  | Sacred Doorways: A Beginner's Guide to Icons from Paraclete Press (MA) Price: $10.50 Customer Review: I checked out 4 or 5 library texts on icons, and this one was by far the easiest to read, browse, and refer to. Martin writes in a straightforward way that is comprehensible to non-art students or those just starting out in the study of icons. Pleasurable enough for bedtime reading! I think the most... |

I had this book as a text, and it is thorough and very informative. Definitely a good source for medieval art. |

| 38. |  | Another Brush With God: Further Conversations About Icons from Morehouse Publishing Price: $17.42 Customer Review: In the title, "brush" means both an instrument for painting and an encounter with the Divine Artist. The book is both an art lesson and a heart lesson in the discipline of focused attention that calls one beyond the painful demands of ego. Just as he does in workshops, Peter Pearson leads the... |

| 39. |  | The Faces Of Jesus: A Life Story from Paraclete Press (MA) Price: $6.99 Customer Review: I ordered a new book and received a very used book. Many pages were missing, it was musty smelling and it had ink writing on some pages. I was very unhappy. Eventually I received a refund. |
