Forest has written biographies of Dorothy Day and Thomas Merton, both of whom were very fond of icons, and is himself a convert to the Russian Orthodox Church, where they are used extensively. He begins by explaining what icons are, their history, how they are made, and other features. Then he discusses prayer. The core of his work are sections on the types of icons, the biblical and other stories behind them, symbolic elements, and some account of how he and others have used them. A final section suggests prayers to be used with icons on various occasions. There is no index. The first edition was published in 1997. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
