21.Signs and Symbols in Christian Art: With Illustrations from Paintings from the Renaissance (Galaxy Books) by: George Ferguson December 31, 1966
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: $19.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: $13.59 You Save: $6.40 (32%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: $2.95
Arrived two days AHEAD of schedule, was packaged neatly and securly. Although it was used, it had very little wear and tear on it. I got this for a art history report on the Byzantine mosaics (Christian) and a lot of the symbols in the art work have been defined in this book. Overall well worth the price and just plain interesting.

22.Michelangelo (XL Series) by: Frank Zollner, Christof Thoenes, Thomas Popper October 01, 2007

Excellent pictures of the frescoes, inadequate coverage of sculptures. This book is unrivaled for the sheer size of its reproductions. It is so huge that it is a bit difficult to read--one has to rest it on a table. Not suitable for reading in bed, to say the least. But the quality of the printing and colors in the main part of the book is first class. Its coverage is especially fine on the paintings. It comprehensively covers the Sistine Chapel with huge-size foldout prints of every fresco. There are fine close-ups of important areas, which are an amazing 2/3 of life size. One can examine these fresco details from a foot away--never before possible--instead of from 60 feet away with a craned neck. This can be breathtaking. The sculpture photos are excellent too, but not numerous. ... Read More

23.The Mission of Art by: Alex Grey December 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $10.48
The book is well written. I have been enjoying reading it. However, I can't give it 5 stars because the author takes drugs and writes about it. How about a kid reads this book? So, the kid will think is cool or ok? I don't think the author has the right to inspire people to do what he chooses to do with his body. The body is a temple to take care of not to abuse it and exploited in actions, words, thoughts or writing. He also mentions the dark side of his nature that it's too personal and too dark. Almost evil to the point, that I felt he should have left it out. Nobody needs to know about this of his past. Only God should judge, and he knows all our sides including the dark ones. If you are spiritually sensitive, you will feel the darkness of his spirit in the past while reading his words. ... Read More

25.A Brush With God: An Icon Workbook by: Peter Pearson December 05, 2005
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: $25.00 Off The Bookshelf's Price: $16.50 You Save: $8.50 (34%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: $15.15
I love this book! I created the icon of St. Nicholas using the books instructions, and got positive feed back on it from my "extremely honest" family and friends. The materials required are readily available and the directions are clear. Most importantly, the spiritual experience during the process was incredible. I can't wait to do the other two icons in the book. However, I do believe you need to be confident in your artistic skills to be successful and avoid frustration. My only criticism is the lack of pictorial examples. I had to refer to another book to understand the difference between the Greek and Russian style.

26.Transfigurations by: Alex Grey November 09, 2004
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: $39.95 Off The Bookshelf's Price: $26.37 You Save: $13.58 (34%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: $20.37
I bought Transfigurations and Grey's earlier book Sacred Mirrors at the same time. Both are visually amazing and the print quality is excellent. I especially liked reading about Alex Grey's journey as an artist that is part of Transfigurations. It's not a path I would want to tread, but knowing about his life gives good insight and empathy into the aesthetics of his work. I'm very glad he met with Tibetan culture, which obviously has influenced him greatly, and helped him escape the dark trap of Euro-American nihilist existentialism

27.Imagine: A Vision for Christians in the Arts by: Steve Turner 2001-05
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: $13.00 Off The Bookshelf's Price: $10.40 You Save: $2.60 (20%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: $4.50
A couple of years ago I interviewed singer/composer/producer Charlie Peacock for an online magazine. He sent me a copy of this book, and since then I have read it through about five times. Turner's insight and vision for Christian artists of all disciplines is almost incomparable in the modern church. He backs up his assertions with any number of contextually accurate scriptural references, and provides more encouragement for the bored and searching artist than he does condemnation of the status quo in Christian-produced art (although there is plenty to condemn). I consider this book absolutely essential for every Christian musician, dancer, painter, poet or artist of any color. It will radically transform your vision for glorifying God if you take its message to heart.

28.Icons and Saints of the Eastern Orthodox Church (Guide to Imagery Series) by: Alfredo Tradigo September 01, 2006
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: $24.95 Off The Bookshelf's Price: $16.47 You Save: $8.48 (34%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: $12.11
This is a very comprehensive and beautiful work on the icons of the Eastern Orthodox Church, and includes Byzantine, Russian, and icons of other traditions. Each icon's significance in the life of Our Lord or church history is detailed. The description and symbolism of each icon is informative without being scholarly or overly long, and each has the Biblical quotation and reference as well as the particular feast day observed. The size is perfect for use in browsing a gallery, the quality of the paper and the color reproductions are excellent. The various types of icons are well represented, and arranged in a convenient fashion. Many of the icons shown have not found their way into any of the books I have previously read, making this a real treasure.
