Sister Wendy's Meditations on the Myster
Through inspirational text and images, Sister Wendy Beckett, the world-renowned art expert, and Duccio di Buoninsegna (c. 1255-1319), the first of the Great Italian renaissance painters, join forces to offer us a privileged meditation into the story of our salvation in Christ.The mysteries of our faith-darkness and light, falsity and truth, dying and rising, humanity and divinity, Lent and Easter-were all very vivid and concrete dimensions of daily life in the Middle Ages. Here, Sister Wendy reminds us that this reality-its challenges and consequences-is still with us.Sister Wendy Beckett is a canonically consecrated virgin and hermit, living on the grounds of the Carmelite monastery at Quidenham, in Norfolk, England. A world-renown art expert, she is the author of more than a dozen books and has narrated several major art documentaries for the BBC.
