The Image of Christ

[Lois]

An absolutely gorgeous book by artist Morgan Weistling that shares a beautiul painting on one side and an inspirational poem or message on the other about Christ and Christianity. I read a page a night during December.

This book has been on my shelf awhile - a gift that I never really read closely. The artwork is beautiful and most of the poetry and meditations were new to me. Very meaningful - a real treat!

[Phillip]

The Christian art of Morgan Weistling is full of beautiful and thoughtful paintings of the Savior. The accompanying text includes inspirational writings about the Savior from literary sources, as well as the artist’s thoughts as he conceived each image.

I found the book to be very supportive of my morning devotionals, enhancing and supplementing my daily scripture study with meditations from a new perspective.
