This classic invites you to explore the depths of meaning in three classic icons of the Virgin Mary and her Child from the Eastern Christian tradition. Rowan Williams discovers the pattern of love that they reveal, a love that invites and embraces us so that we no longer remain as spectators, but find ourselves caught up in the drama that unfolds itself before us. "A book to be read not once only, but many times." -Kallistos Ware, from the Foreword
