Celebration does not always come easily. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In twenty-five illustrated daily readings we commune with Scripture and the wounded artists that gave the world masterpieces of hope: Gauguin, Tissot, Caravaggio, Tanner, Delacroix, van Gogh, D rer. We've heard the names. We recognize the paintings. But do we know the artists? They were flawed and often troubled people: a widower that saw a vision of Christ; a murderer who painted himself as Peter; a grieving father that drew his sons as Jesus and John; an orphan who saw his salvation in the Holy Family. Despite their wounds--perhaps because of them--these artists achieved the sublime. Their humanity inspires us. Based on the latest research in history and grief, \u003ci\u003eWounded in Spirit\u003c\/i\u003e returns us to where Christian art began. From mourning in Roman catacombs to works of the masters, we join the world's great religious artists on their pilgrimages of hope and brokenness. In their wounds, in \u003ci\u003eour\u003c\/i\u003e wounds, we may once again encounter \"God with us.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bannon, David\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/30\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Paraclete Press (MA)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781640601451\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 7.40w x 0.80d","brand":"David Bannon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39611680063563,"sku":"9781640601451","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0021\/1697\/6715\/products\/img_cadac41e-d6e8-4294-9f39-4ae218816786.jpg?v=1638984869","url":"https:\/\/blackbookstore.com\/products\/wounded-in-spirit-advent-art-and-meditations-9781640601451","provider":"Black Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
