Devotions: Wisdom from the Cradle of Civilization (365) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)An astonishing gift to the literary kingdom. If a book was a mirror...it would look like this. God and Faith and and Humanity are reflected so vibrantly on every single page.
The devotions such as "You lack a foot to travel? Then journey into yourself - that leads to transformation of dust into pure gold" ~Rumi and "everyday one must dance, even if only in thought" ~Rabbi Nachman of Breslow are surpassed only by the staggering visuals of the accompanying photographs.
A wondrous "Panda" with an owl fetish gave me Devotions for Christmas and consequently I have been utterly lost in the magical light of what has turned out to be a profoundly moving and unprecedented reading experience.
This isn't "just" a book. It is LIFE.
If I had to deduct a star...it would be for the simple fact that Devotions did not come with a free tank of oxygen which would have come in handy considering the number of times it took my breath far and away.
It is hard to conceive that there is anything better in the universe than this book....yet there is. That is the knowledge that it is a part of a larger series.
Gorgeous, Gorgeous, G O R G E O U S!

Devotions: Wisdom from the Cradle of Civilization is the sixth installment in Danielle and Olivier Föllmi's project Offerings for Humanity, which spans the world's cultures and traditions. In this new volume, the authors have traveled the Middle East and captured images from Morocco, Algeria, Egypt, Yemen, United Arab Emirates, Jordan, Israel, Lebanon, Syria, Iran, Afghanistan, and many other places. As in the other books, each photograph is accompanied by a quote for each day of the year.
Devotions presents not only religious quotes taken from the Koran, the Hebraic tradition, and Eastern Christianity, but also from noted authors such as the Sufi poet and jurist Rumi, the Persian writer and mathematician Omar Khayyám, and the Lebanese-American artist Khalil Gibran. A daily dose of wisdom coupled with breathtaking photography, Devotions allows readers to move a little closer to the heart of the wisdom found in the Cradle of Civilization.
