{"product_id":"9780819226457","title":"A Brush with God: An Icon Workbook","description":"For more than a thousand years, Eastern Christians have used their hands and hearts to create icons, proclaiming God’s reality in a visible–and breathtakingly beautiful–way.  This ancient art is enjoying a renewed interest in the West, as people of faith create icons and use them to meditate on mysteries for which there are no words.  A Brush with God is a guide to painting icons and using them in prayer. Written with warmth and energy, it describes the history of icons and examines why they’ve been a spiritual tool for so many centuries. Written from a uniquely Western perspective, the book guides artists–from novices to professionals–through the process of icon painting, using traditional techniques but employing contemporary materials. Included are eight full-color plates of the artist’s icons.","brand":"Church Publishing Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47069602906352,"sku":"9780819226457","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780819226457_p0.jpg?v=1763750597","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780819226457","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
