The Publisher Says: "Think of all the beauty still left around you and be happy."—Anne Frank
The illuminated medieval manuscripts known as Books of Hours have been used to guide contemplation and prayer for centuries, with their intricate designs and exquisite coloring. Devotional poet, priest, and National Book Award nominee Spencer Reece has revived the tradition with a collection of over 50 vibrant watercolors inspired by his life journeys and his reflections on faith.
His brushstrokes guide us from the bustling restaurants of Madrid, to the expansive seas of Morocco, to the coastal tranquility of Old Lyme, Connecticut. Each painting faces a quote from an acclaimed writer or spokesperson that has inspired him, among them Emily Dickinson, James Baldwin, Elizabeth Bishop, Katharine Hepburn, and Janis Joplin. The perfect gift for Easter, Mother’s Day, or any occasion, All the Beauty Still Left is a delight whose evocative images and memorable accompanying texts are sure to provoke contemplation and reflection for readers of all faiths.
I RECEIVED A DRC FROM THE PUBLISHER VIA EDELWEISS+. THANK YOU.
My Review: I admit it...this is one of those lovely little gift books that I want to get for everyone. The soothing artworks that give one such a sense of place; the poetically chosen quotes from well known figures; the entire package was put together with my wallet square in its sights.
Lovely way to start the trip, isn't it?
I hope the idea of such a lovely Book of Hours, something to be picked up in the odd moment and simply absorbed as it is, will appeal to you. Whether for yourself or as a gift for someone older who, honestly, has everything, likes books, and is completely impossible to buy anything for, this is a delight not to be denied.
I love this quote so much.
This one, too.
Absolutely the best idea for a #Booksgiving book!… (más)
